Directions for The Mirror Game
When everyone comes to this station have them sit down on a chair by the table and then when everyone is quiet you can start explaining what they will be doing at The Mirror Game station. You will tell everone that when they get a mirror to stand the mirror up on the table then they will be given a lined piece of paper and have to look through the mirror and write their full name. After they are done writing there full name through the mirror you will hand them the 1st maze and they have to do that looking through the mirror, and if they get that done you will give them the harder maze.
When there is just 5 minutes left you will start the discussion.

This is such a nice website! The games are very helpful in gaining perspective as what it would be like to have any of the various disablities. I think it's a great tool that can be used to teach students of all ages about disabilities and why not to discriminate against those who have them! Thanks for posting this!
