Activity
Instructions
1) Pretend that these chairs are alls in the supermarket.
2) You are going to go shopping in the super market altogether in one whole group.
3) When you go shopping in the supermarket, I want you to imagine that you really are in the super market like Giant and etc.
4) And everything you pick up, I want you to think about what is it that you're picking up.
Eg. (Questions to ask during activity) Are you taking a can out of the shelf?
Are you taking the vegetables from the vegetable racks?
Do you have a list? Are you someone who shops with a list or is everything in your head? Or are you shopping to shop?
Are you tight on budget, can you afford what the items in your trolley?
Are you carrying a basket? How heavy does this basket get?
Are you tall enough to reach the top shelf?

Tips
Actually, see what you are picking up or looking at.
You are all strangers, you don't know each other.
Think about the weight that you are carrying. If it is heavy, how do you move?
If you are carrying a basket, do you ever put it down and look at things?

Make it as realistic as possible through details.

5) At first, don't speak to each other.
You know that the everyone's existence.
6) I will give you the instructions and you shall follow it accordingly.
If you have to start talking, be as real and be yourself. Don't be a character but really be in the supermarket shopping.
7) You can now talk to people. But talk to them as much as you would in a real supermarket. So if you won't speak to anyone in the supermarket shopping then don't.
8) There is someone in the supermarket who you are about to see and you don't want to.
You need to decide ...
Who is this person in your life? Eg. Ex boyfriend ...
You need to avoid this person but you must still continue shopping. You must shop in a realistic manner. This is real. This person must be someone here. You must create a reason why you don't want to meet them. (Put that in your head.)
So you must decide if you are avoiding this person, how to do you avoid them but carry on shopping?
Your main objectives are to shop.
How do you react when you see them shopping at the same ale.
9) Now there is somebody in the supermarket that you really want to get to know. You really want to get to know them, that doesn't mean yo break out of the norm and just approach them. You need to think at what point is it a good time to start speaking to them.
-What would you say?
- How would you approach them in the first place?
You still have the person you are trying to avoid. You are still shopping.
