Reflective Journaling (Self-Reflection Maze)
Reflective Journaling (Self-Reflection Maze)
What it is:
Reflective journaling encourages personal insight by helping individuals
think critically about their experiences, emotions, and actions.
The Self-Reflection Maze adds structure and creativity to this process.
How to use it:
Design a maze or journey with checkpoints, each tied to a reflective prompt.
Prompts can include: "What did I assume? What did I learn? What would I do differently?"
Encourage writing or drawing answers as they “move through” the maze.
Create a tool:
Build a physical board game or digital path with stations (prompts). Add visual metaphors (doors, bridges, blocks) to represent challenges and insights. Let students follow different paths depending on their choices, promoting independent thinking.
