Steps
1. Have students form two lines that face each other.
2. One person walks between the lines. The person stops whenever he/she wants and looks someone in the eye. That person must say or do something to make the person in the middle feel good, such as pat the person on the back, give a compliment, say “I like you”, smile, etc. The middle person must go up to at least three people but
can stop at as many as he/she wants.3. Each student should get a chance to walk between the people.
