ACTIVITY 1 -
I, ME, MY GAME
Activity 1 - I, Me, My Game
To make children understand the importance of being in the now, about the ego, about the importance of participating
Preparation:
Make the children sit in a circle, encourage them to play the game.
Presentation: Children will sit in a circle and mentors will encourage them to talk by asking interesting questions about the children? The only one rule of the game is that the children must not use I, my, me while answering any questions. If they use these words they will be out of the game. Each child is allowed to share their experiences in turns. It is very difficult to express our views without using I, my and me. So encourage the children's effort to play this game. They can play this game only when they focus and participate in every moment.
Interpretation: To make the children understand how effective participation and focusing is, and so they can understand by practice that they can get rid of ego enhancing words like I, me, my. Instead of I, me, my they can use their names.
ACTIVITY 2 -
CUPS OF OVERFLOWING LOVE
Material required: Disposable cups (1 per child) Permanent marker Water (food colouring powder if required)
Preparation: Get all the materials together and have the children gather in a circle after discussion time.
Discussion:
Give an illustration on how we can be filled with love and overflow onto others. First take a cup and demonstrate how the cup represents a person, and the water is love. Add other cups on top of the first cup and when the water of love is poured on the first cup, it spills over to the others as it starts overflowing! Each child can use the permanent marker to write their name on a cup and take turns to realize the concept of sharing love by being filled-up, and then letting it overflow while sharing it with their friends
