1. Ask the participants to stand and create a circle.
2. Introduce the activity explaining that the participants will define the following characteristics of a character:
– Name
– Gender
– Age
– Special feature (for example: boldness, glasses, very high, have trouble walking etc.)
– Hobby
– Good habit
– Bad habit
– Status (employed, unemployed, retired, student …)
– Family
Ask one of the participants to start by giving the name of the character. Others follow by giving additional characteristics as written above. If there are more than 10 participants, the character may have more than 1 hobby, more than 1 good/bad habit.

3. When the character’s characteristics are defined, repeat the circle so everyone remembers well.

4. When everybody feels confident about the character, the circle becomes a clock. Participants are standing in a specific part of a day.

5. The day of the character begins at 7 a.m. Circle select the 7 a.m. position.

6. Ask the participant who is standing in the 7 a.m. position to introduce the character’s morning routine according to a pre-defined characteristic. The rule is that participants use only body mime to show the story. Voices are not allowed.

7. The day continues with another participant who is following the story.

8. Each participant must follow the story taking into account the previous part of the story, the part of the day they are in and the character traits that have been established at the beginning.

9. When the day of the character ends, the 7 a.m. participant is asked to explain with words his/her part of the story by describing it in third person – describing the character (e.g. John woke up and turned off the alarm clock). Each participant shares their part of the story the same way.
