HI Nathalie: The only activity I do is I have students do mirror drawing. They first copy a pattern actively looking at their hand (in reverse) and generally have great trouble with this.
Next, since the pattern is a simple octogon I tell them to just close their eyes and periodically just open them, but to let the feel of which way they know they should be going guide them. They generally do much better, even though they only peak occasionally, than when they are actively looking in the mirror. So we talk about how knowing where your hand is and where it needs to be going can conflict with the visual cue when the visual cue is backwards.
