ACTIVITY OF THE DAY GLASS AND WATER

EXPLANATION This is a very simple activity to illustrate the difference in perspective and how we see things.

MATERIAL REQUIRED: Glass and water

PRESENTATION:

  • Discuss with the class the different ways people see things. When we are happy or positive, everything looks bright and happy. When we are upset, or angry, everything seems to go wrong.
  • Now take a glass and fill it with water to the half way mark
  • Ask each child in turns: Is it half full? Or half empty? It is just a point of view about how we see things differently. When we see a rose with thorns, do we admire the beauty and fragrance? Or do we complain about the thorns? Explain how our positive outlook and gratitude is very important.
