Use chart paper and cut it into small rectangles in the size of playing cards. Using the list below about love, write on each card one part of the pair.
Example:
(Written on one card) Inner Space (The pair to the first card) Where you experience love So these 2 cards make up a pair. You can draw a heart shape on the back of each playing card to make them look uniform.
Love:
- Inner Space - Where you experience love
- Ego - “Mine"
- Attention - Concentration
- Awareness - Alert
- Love - Brings Unity and Courage
- Ego - Power alone
- Watching Breath - No Thought
- Thoughts - Inner Chatter
- Causeless Love - Love without a Purpose
- Deep Sleep - No Thoughts, No Attention
- Too Much Chocolate - Showing Love with a Purpose Restlessness - Bored
- Desire Greed - No Love in Inner Space
Note: There should be 26 playing cards, and so 13 pairs.
Presentation:
Make sure everyone knows the terms and go over why each one has a pair and what they mean.
Explain the rules of the game:
• Mix up the deck of cards, and give each person 3 cards.1
• Keep the extra cards in the middle of the circle for picking up when they need to "Go Fish."
• Go around, so that everyone gets a turn. Each child is supposed to find the other pair to match it with their card. The first child points to any one particular child and asks whatever is on their hand (example: "Causeless love") and the whole group gives the answer: "Love without a Purpose."
Explain the rules of the game:
- Now, if that person pinpointed has the "Love without a purpose" card they need to hand it over, or else they will say "Go Fish". The person who asked for the pair will take an extra card from the card pile on the floor. It is now the next person's turn.
- However, if the person they ask has the card, they give them the card and they can make a pair. They also get another turn to try and make a pair by calling out any of the remaining two cards.
