Shoes with Laces
===Set Up===
===Directions===
Have the group split into pairs. One person in the pair will give directions and the other will
follow. Each pair should have one pair of shoes with laces. The individual giving directions is
responsible for teaching his or her partner how to tie a bow. The individual receiving
directions must follow his or her partner’s directions '''exactly''' as they are stated, acting as if this
is a completely new concept. For example, if a participant asks his or her partner to make a
loop with the right show lace, the partner can respond by stating that he or she does not
know how to make a loop or by making a loop that is inappropriately sized. This activity
reminds participants that people, especially children, require specific directions and
guidelines in order to be successful.
