We focused on the family for this activity. The requirement is to make a list of ways you can strengthen and bring happiness to your family. Of course we need to do more then make list!
This is the girls worksheet to fulfill the requirement.
Unity game one:
The girls were given some paper plates, piece of wood and some foam squares. (I wish I had cool stuff like step stools and stumps but I don't) They had to start at one end of the gym and make their way to the other side with out touching the gym floor. If they touched the floor they had to start over. On the way across they had to pick up papers with words from the proclamation: work, fun, respect, compassion, etc. They can't do this on their own, they have to work together. They did great.
After they made it we talked about how the activity related to families and the words they picked up. They talked about helping each other, being kind when we make mistakes, etc. The girls were very insightful.
1. 2 girls shared one shirt and had one arm each to use.
2. They had to wrap a gift together. I gave them paper, tape, scissors and a book to wrap.
We talked about how they related the game to marriage and family.
This activity opened there eyes to how much work is required to make a marriage or any relationship work.
Last, we made a cookie mix in a jar and talked about what they can do to "CHIP" in and help their families be successful. I found the cute tag and proclamation on pinterest at etsy and Visit alexamariezurcher.comalexamariezurcher.com.
I didn't take a photo of the flyer but I gave them a chocolate chip cookie with a tag that read, "Families are Forever- Do your part and "chip" in" with the date and time.
