How it works

Sit so that one of you has your back to the other. The storyteller begins. You can switch roles later if you want.
The storyteller reads the massage story aloud and performs the corresponding movements on the other's back. Big circles for the snowman and gentle tapping for the squirrel's paws.
After the story, you can switch roles. The storyteller gets massaged, and the other takes over the story. Maybe you can add your own ideas, like new animal friends or other adventures.
Take your time at the end to sit quietly and feel how the massage was. What felt particularly nice? What could be done differently next time? Have fun with your snowman adventure!
