Pam Malt's and Nicole Powell's Photo Activity

This activity was created by Nicole Powell and Pam Malt.  I think it is the best activity to teach beginners confidence in making a reading.  Each person in the circle was asked to bring a two photos (I think it would be ideal if one photo was of someone alive and the other was of someone who has passed on).  The photos are placed on the table and shuffled.  People pair up and practice do readings based on the photo they chose.  The idea is to only look at the photo for less than 5 seconds and then put it down.  Then the person describes actual things things they noticed about the person, ie. male or female, tall or short,  color of hair etc.  Then they can give some insights into the person by say what they think that person may be like.  This activity is to simulate what it is like when you get a glimpse of someone in spirit.  The idea is to give a quick reading.  Beginners confidence can really grow because this activity takes away the fear of being wrong.  It can also be done in a large group where they can get feedback from the person who brought the card as to how accurate the reading was.
