Activity of the day
Activity of the day: Glass paper / cellophane
Materials Needed:
- 1. Torch light (flash light)
- 2. Colored glass paper or cellophane
Review the activity and how it relates to our thoughts affecting our daily reality and consciousness on the whole.
Note: Have enough pieces of glass paper and torch lights for everyone, or form groups so all can share the Activity.
Procedure:
Inform the children: The flashlight is like our mind. The glass paper is our thoughts. Our vision is distorted by the thoughts we project. If we remove the glass paper/ thoughts, our vision and outlook is clear. But everyone has preconceived ideas and different thoughts and ways of looking at things; this is what brings in confusion. Remove the thoughts, and be clear. Take the torch light and demonstrate how to turn it on. Show how thoughts change colors as per the moods in our mind. If the colour paper is removed, the light is clear. Every one should take a turn shining through the colours then removing them, removing the thoughts. Discuss with the children: What does the glass paper represent? Why do we see in different colors? What happens when we feel that we are very clear about an idea? "We use our intuition."
