AiRPLANE: CONNECTED WiTH EACH OTHER
Material required: Building Blocks (at least 7 per child) This is a fun activity that shows the importance of working together.
Discussion: Gather everyone in a circle and give them 7 building blocks each and tell them to build a big airplane! Immediately they will look around and say "There is no way to do that as I only have 7 blocks. But if I join with this friend, together we will have 14." Then they will realize, "We should all join together as a team." So they mix them all up, put the blocks in the middle, and work together in unity. Someone can help with the propeller, others with the body, the wings, the tail, and together make a big airplane! Once it is finished, just sit back and admire it!
Questions:
- Are you able to make it on your own?
- And isn't it beautiful how we all worked together in UNITY?
- How do you feel? Happy/sad?
- Do you feel open or closed now? Do you feel heavy or light?
- Imagine if the whole world was able to work together in unity and be happy? Wouldn't that be bliss?
They all can put up their arms and shout "HAPPY!" releasing the positive energy to touch others in the world.
Optional:
You can also take a picture of the completed model airplane and put it up in a common place to remind everyone that the unity they exhibited by working together and sharing is love.
