RELATIONSHIPS IN MY LIFE

SUGGESTED ACTIVITY: CIRCLE OF PEOPLE- PART 1

TIME MATERIALS
10-15 mins “PEOPLE IN MY LIFE” WORKSHEET
PEN/ PENCIL

“RELATIONSHIP CIRCLE” WORKSHEET

ACTIVITY
- Have all participants Write the names of all of the people in their lives in each category of the
worksheet. Encourage them to think of as many names or roles as they can.

COACH’S NOTES
Remind participants that we usually only have one or zero names at a time in the Romantic Partner
category. It’s possible for people to have more than one romantic partner at a time, but it’s important
that we learn how to have a healthy relationship with one romantic partner before we can have a healthy
relationship with more than one partner.

“RELATIONSHIP CIRCLE” WORKSHEET

ACTIVITY
- Participants start by writing their own name in the middle circle.
- In the “Hug” circle, write the names of people with whom you have the closest relationships.
Many people put only a few people in this circle. It might include your immediate family and a few
friends.
- In the “Side Hug” circle, write the names of people who are also very close to you, but not as close
as those in the “hug” circle. This may include more friends and other family members. You might
even include a caregiver or support person with whom you are very close.
- In the “Shake Hands” circle, write the names of people you know well, but who are not your clos-
est friends or family. You’ll have more people in this circle, and you might include classmates, col-
leagues/ co-workers, teammates, teachers and more. This circle may include types of touch that
are hand to hand such as high fives, fist bumps, etc.
- In the “Wave” circle, write the names of people you’re acquainted with but don’t know very well.
This circle will have even more people and may include some community members you see often
and know their names. This circle also includes types of affection that are not touch (peace fin-
gers, head nod, salute, etc.).
- The circle titled “Do Not Touch” includes the rest of the world (strangers, etc.). We do not need
to talk to everyone we see on the street.
COACH’S NOTES
Remember that all people have different and unique relationships with others. Although it seems
natural to include immediate family members like siblings and parents in the “Hug” circle, not all
people are comfortable with this, and that’s okay. Encourage people to write the names they feel are
appropriate for each type of relationship.
