•  Getting to Know You

  Materials Needed: Paper, Markers

   Children are asked to pair-up with another child they do not already know (or don’t know very well).  The instructor tells each child to find out 5 new things about their partner and write them down
  Instructor tells each child to pick 1 item off their list and think of how that item might make their partner feel.   For example: I live with my mother and younger sister.  The partner might say they think that makes their partner sad to not have their dad living with them.
  
  
  Suggestion: Give a list of items you want addressed so you don’t end up with very superficial items such as “my favorite color is blue”
  
  
  Example categories: Who do you live with, how many brothers/sisters do you have, Do you have many friends at school, what is your favorite hobby, if you could change one thing about yourself what would it be, etc…
  Goal: Teaching empathy and social skills
