Activity OF THE DAY Lemon and spoon race

PROCEDURE:

Tell the children they are going to take part in a race. Give each child a spoon and a lemon and ask them to hold the spoon in their mouth. Next ask them to place the lemon on the spoon and begin walking fast towards a given target. Tell them that no matter how many times the lemon falls they have to pick it up, put it back on the spoon, and run to complete the race. Repeat the race.

VARIATION:

Children can also hold the spoon with the lemon in their hands.

INFERENCE:

Turning failures into success is life. Not not giving up on a task and completing it is important because failure becomes insignificant when actual success happens. Repeat the race many times to tell life that everyone will win the race and that we can enjoy the race with everyone. The core purpose of the game is experiencing joy in the action that we do rather than winning or completing the race.
