Soul’s Snapshot Studio

Activity description

The activity will be held over two days:

Day 1: Mood Graffiti Wall (a large display board) for students to doodle and draw to express their feelings. This graffiti wall will then serve as the backdrop for the photo sessions on the second day.

Day 2: Students will first participate in the "Stress Tic-Tac-Toe" game 【details below】. Each member of the winning group can take an instant "Life Four-Cuts" photo. This encourages students not to give up easily when facing obstacles in life, as there will eventually be a fruitful harvest, while also capturing memories of their beautiful campus life. The activity will feature professional equipment borrowed from a self-photo studio and a staff member to assist with the shoot. During the session, students can hold up 【Mood Emojis / props that best represent themselves】, aiming to continue our previous philosophy of self-state awareness and gradually cultivate the habit of self-awareness among students.

Game Details:

"Stress Tic-Tac-Toe" game (3-person team competition, hoping students can make more friends)

Stage 1: Bend down, hold your knees, and point to the ground while spinning 3 times, then walk in a straight line (marked by colored stickers on the floor).

Stage 2: Dribble a ball while weaving through traffic cones (each cone is labeled with different life challenges such as Exams / Conflicts / etc.).

Stage 3: Reach the finish line and strike your own unique victory gesture/pose.

Teams that complete the challenge within the time limit will earn a photo opportunity.

Activity highlight

Over 140 students participated in the activity. Some enjoyed doodling on the display board to express their feelings, some became more courageous as they tackled the "Stress Tic-Tac-Toe" challenge, and others were delighted to take photos with their peers to witness beautiful campus moments and precious friendships—it was clear that the activity was a great success! Because of this, the committee members felt a deep sense of fulfillment!

On the day of the photoshoot, the equipment occasionally malfunctioned and required some waiting time. During these intervals, students took the opportunity to pick out more of their favorite props, discuss more poses, or chat and laugh with other students. The atmosphere was truly heartwarming!

Several staff members and school workers also joined the activity, taking the initiative to snap photos with students and colleagues, which helped bring everyone closer together.

SEN students are usually more introverted and seldom join activities, but that day, two SEN students proactively participated and took photos together, which deeply moved the club committee members!

Students participated enthusiastically in the mural activity. Their collective thoughts and aspirations now serve as the background for the Soul’s Snapshot Studio booth, turning their personal reflections into a shared backdrop for their memories.

Purpose behind this activity

To help students practice self-awareness, improve their social and interpersonal relationships, and increase their resilience, the club aims to enhance student mental health in two areas:

1. Relationship: Playing group games together and forming teams to meet new friends.

2. Resilience: Encouraging students to try again through the experience of winning and losing in games, fostering a spirit of perseverance and never giving up.
