The Invisible Wall
Students mime pressing against a wall that is not there — with total physical commitment.
Focuses physical and mental attention entirely on the body — impossible to think about anything else.
Instructions
Everyone spreads out in the space. They must find the invisible walls around them and explore them — pressing, sliding along, finding corners and edges. No sound. Full physical commitment. After 3 minutes, the walls disappear and they move freely. Then freeze — walls come back.

Best used when
When students are mentally checked out and need to re-enter their bodies before academic work.
Variation
