DRAWING WITH GIVEN TIME LIMIT
MATERIALS NEEDED:
• Paper (1 each)
• Pencils (1 each)
• Clock or Watch (optional)
PREPARATION: Have enough pencils for everyone and 2 small pieces of paper each. If you have a clock, watch or timer have it ready
PRESENTATION:
Talk about what is worry. Ask them what it means to each of them. Worry is just too many negative thoughts causing high inner chatter. And whenever we think something, especially when we are in a rush, we just cause more of that as our negative track is bringing more negativity to us.
ART OF THE DAY
DRAWING WITH GIVEN TIME LIMIT
PRESENTATION:
Have you ever noticed when you get out of bed in the morning and are feeling upset and grumpy, the rest of the day carries on in the same way unless we do something to stop and look on the bright side. You wake up late one day, begin to hurry!
Afraid of getting more delayed, you can't find the right school clothes, hair is not behaving itself, breakfast takes forever, the car is late, and everything goes wrong and you keep looking at the clock wishing it would stop but it spins faster and faster creating that stressed out worry. By the time you get to your destination, you feel so exhausted. You want to turn around and head home for a nap.
ART OF THE DAY
DRAWING WITH GIVEN TIME LIMIT
PRESENTATION:
If you would just stop and get on the right track, not worrying about the time, believing everything will work out for the best and planning well, then it will work out!
This is an activity to show a representation of unnecessary worry.

PROCEDURE:
- Give each child 1 piece of paper each and a pencil. Ask them to draw something simple but very nice. Tell them to remember what they have drawn!
- Now give them another piece of paper and ask them to draw the same picture again in 20 seconds! Countdown and say stop when time is up!
- Show the 2 pictures and let them understand how the worry about trying to fit things in the time frame caused the 2nd picture to turn out so messy! When we do something very fast we will land up doing it messy because we are not focusing on the wok but rather worrying about meeting the deadline.
- That's what happens in our lives. If you ever want to make a mess of things, do it very, very quickly and worry that you won't be able to get it done, and it will surely come true.
