Hi Aabha
John is right. Search in here and you will find a lot of stuff already in place.
For your quick refernce, following are some examples....
Blind Walk
Divide group into pairs with one member of each pair blindfolded. Seeing partner leads blind partner on a walk. The walk should be challenging, including such obstacles as climbing over tables, crawling under chairs, walking up or down stairs, climbing over railings, etc
Group Jump-Rope (NP)
Given long piece of rope, group tries to jump rope simultaneously (again, easier to start with simple task - one or two people - and work up to larger goal gradually)
Minefield
Have group discuss things that are detrimental to functioning as a group. For each characteristic/action, throw an object into the playing space, the "minefield." Have group choose partners. One partner is blindfolded at one end of field. The non-blindfolded partners stand at the opposite end of the field and try to talk their partners through the minefield without running into any of the obstacles.

Mirror Image
- This activity involves people in pairs, with one person mirroring the actions and movements of the other person.
- Body movement exercises can be most revealing, confronting and rewarding. "Human sculpting via mirroring" brings body movement exploration into the dyad. By reflecting body movements of another, several subtle but complex processes are activated, heightening self- and other-awareness. Immediate non-verbal feedback exercises in the right time and place have the potential to be transformational. Other times this can simply be a fun loosen-upperer.
- Works with any size group; split into pairs/couples.
- Although it is simple, the activity can be confronting, and requires mature leadership and a well chosen moment/sequence/program.
- Usually make sure the social ice is well and truly broken, and that there have been other body movement and physical warmup/stretching exercises, with some laughter and some seriousness.
- Offer a demonstration. Invite a volunteer to stand facing you about half a metre apart. The instructor initiates action, with the other person following in "mirror image".
- Make your movements interesting and slow enough for the other person to mime as if they were a full length mirror.
- Also include zany stretches/contortions to get a few laughs, especially facial gymnastics. Include action sequences for tasks like brushing your teeth. The demonstration helps to loosen up conceptions and inhibitions.
- In pairs, one person stretches, the other follows. Then swap after some time.
- Debrief as you see fit.
- Variation: Reverse-mirror image. Try following partner's movements in reverse-mirror image (i.e., swap left <-> right)
