Step 1
Make your own identity flower by drawing a flower on a large paper. Write your name, or how you want to be called, in the middle of the flower. Then think about your own sun and lighting.
Explain to the players that sometimes it can be difficult to talk about ourselves or even know ourselves. In the next exercise, we are going to do that using an identity flower. An identity flower represents who you are right now.
Introduce yourself to the group of players by showing your own made identity flower (see materials). Explain your sun and lightning. Explain that the sun and rain can help you make your flower bloom and grow; lightning can hurt but does not always have to destroy your flower immediately, it often makes you stronger.
Let the players create their own identity flower. Offer them a blank sheet of paper as a starting point. Ask them to design their flower. In the middle they can write their name or what they want to be called in this group, right now.
Have them think about their sun, have them write down each answer in a separate petal and have them colour it yellow:
Have them think about their lightning, write down each answer in a separate petal and colour it blue:
Have them colour the remaining leaves in a colour of their choice and ask them questions like:
Scatter the posters with flowers around the room/on the floor. Have the players go around and have them guess which poster belongs to whom.
