A technique “Pinks and Greens” was designed for a cognitive psychology workshop on embodied cognition. It is a game with multifactorial interactions and transformations of the participants with green marks into the participants with pink marks, and vice versa. It is created in the tradition of “live chess”: several participants from the class are solving logical problems in the space environment “Pinks and Greens” according to its existing rules, being the space-distributed elements of this environment and navigating it. The rest of the group is watching. The players are given tasks for cooperation and competition. The preliminary results are the following: 1) The participants of the workshop believe that the problems are solved easier, when “looking from the outside” than when being in the environment; 2) The adult participants in some moves solve a problem in visual-active dimension, moving physically to different positions of the playing field and focusing on the result obtained; 3) The participants note the difficulties of shifting between the roles in the case of “transformations”. In general, the game allows the participants to feel and realize themselves in unity of various qualities: a) as a logical element of the environment, which is capable of taking two values (“pink” or “green”) depending on the specified conditions of the actions performed; b) as a member of a team, who discusses the possibilities and defends their decision in front of others; c) as an object of another participant’s decision; d) as an embodied subject, who moves in physical space and occupies positions in it relative to other participants; e) as a subject, who changes their thinking tasks to the opposite ones (from the task “how to make the Greens win” to the task “how to help the Pinks win” and vice versa). Various aspects of the game can be discussed at a workshop: from purely logical and game-theoretic, individual and socio-psychological to philosophical ones.
