A Coat of Arms is a design that is unique to a person, family, corporation, or state that illustrates the important characteristics, achievements, and values of its owner.

Flow

Brief the participants. Explain that each participant will draw something in each of the five sections of the Coat of Arms handout in response to relevant questions. After that, participants will pair up, swap their drawings and try to interpret the drawings so that they can introduce their partner to the whole group.
Sample questions: Part 1. Drawing
Explain the activity. Participants should work individually and spend 10 minutes to complete their personal Coat of Arms by drawing a picture or symbol in each of the 5 sections, in response to the five questions. Emphasize that no words are allowed. Reassure the participants that artistic ability is not important because the picture is simply to convey information.
Part 2. Interpreting
Explain the activity. Participants should identify the person whom they know least well in the group, partner with her, and exchange the drawings.

They now take it in turns, 3 minutes each, to interpret what their partner's drawing is trying to say in response to each question. Stress that the originator should not give any clues unless their partner is completely lost.

After 3 minutes advise the participants to repeat the procedure with the second coat of arms.

If there is a triad, you will need to allow a few extra minutes.
Part 3. Presenting
Explain the activity. Each participant now has 2 or 3 minutes to introduce their partner using the information they have gained from interpreting the Coat of Arms.

Adjustments

You can adjust the time requirement by increasing or decreasing the number of sections on the Coat of Arms.

The Coat of Arms could also be used for the following purposes:

Coat of Arms is a framegame that can be used in many different applications by just altering the questions. In the example above, it is illustrated as an opener to a training workshop.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Coat of Arms exercise provides a way for participants to introduce themselves and their colleagues, particularly for groups who think they already know each other very well. Almost invariably participants discover something about their colleagues of which they previously had no idea. Occasionally this revelation has an immediate and direct application to another participant's current project or challenge.

This activity is great for bringing the mind back to the importance of our breath. As it turns out when we’re stressed we take shallow breaths. On the other hand, deeper “belly breaths” focus our attention and calm us. Sitting or standing, ask your students to breathe deeply and slowly for around five minutes. Ask them to count to three on the inhale and three again on the exhale. You may like to suggest they put their hands on their stomachs to feel the air as it moves in and out.

Negative emotions help us to be safe and recognize problems, so that we can solve them. Positive emotions increase happiness, make us feel weel and strenghten our relationships. When we experience positive emotions such as joy with others, we feel especially well. Therefore positive emotions should be cherished and enhanced. Positive emotions are also more fragile than negative ones, which in turn are very strong so that we notice them. That’s why positive emotions should be enhances more in order to feel well.
