Playing – What can we see in the mirror?

The mirror game presents an opportunity to look at one another as well as ourselves, notice similarities and differences, and laugh.

Instructions:

Sit in front of the mirror with your child, look at each other, and find similarities and differences between you:

Are your eyebrows arched the same way as your child’s?

Do you both have freckles? Or curly hair?

Pulling Faces – one of you could pull a funny face, while the other tries to mimic it. Were you able to make each other laugh? Was it the same funny face that made you both laugh, or different ones?

Doing some arts & crafts – Similar but different

You could make a family picture together, and add your similarities and differences to it:

Take photographs of yourselves together or separately. If you prefer, you could draw self-portraits instead of taking pictures. Print the photos out, paste them on some cardboard, and paint them. Add drawings or newspaper scraps to your pictures with details representing the similarities and differences between you. Do you enjoy playing the same games? How about adding it, then? You could add the different games that each of you like to play. Perhaps one of you prefers quiet, while the other prefers noise. Are you fast or slow? Do you find the same jokes funny? What else would you add to your family photo?

Moving similarly – Moving differently

Would you like to be active? Here are some suggestions for physical exercises that consist of both similar and different movements.

In each round, one of your family members moves their body:  eaves their hand, jumps, turns around, or touches their ears.

The person next to them then moves too: if they like the gesture made by the previous participant, they can move in a similar way. If not, they can choose a different movement they like better.

What did you enjoy? Repeating the same movement, or choosing your own?
