Activity of the day - water and glass
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.
- 3. Ask each child in turns:
Is it half full? Or half empty?
lt 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.
Variation;
Using colored glass paper, the children can look through the glass to illustrate changes in perspective.
Conclusion:
When we are in now and in the present, we are able to notice and observe things all around us. Every moment is wisdom. The way we see things is called perspective, and if we see things as is, life will be enjoyable.
