Activity - Paper chain-linking thoughts:
Material required:
- Strips of paper
- Stapler
- Colored pencils
Preparation:
Gather the materials together.
Discussion and presentation:
We have many thoughts that are so different and unrelated. Sometimes, our thoughts go together, but when you stop to analyze your thoughts, you will see how bizarre they really are. You will be thinking. "Oh, I am feeling so sad and lonely, I wish I had a new toy to play with, I wish I had this thing or that, look at that dog crossing the street with bone in his mouth". We can stop and write down what thoughts are in our head, and instead do something constructive, instead of wasting our time as it is of no help to anybody.
Activity:
Give each person strips of paper and have them write down immediate thoughts that come to mind, we are always thinking! Take the thoughts and attach them together, linking them up to form a chain
