The Pie of Life
Part of Deeper Joy
Parameters: Two or more people. If there are more than 10 in your group, form small groups of 4 to 8 people. Can be done virtually, in person or asynchronously with a show and tell.
Materials: paper or paper plate, writing/coloring utensils.
Ask the group to each draw a large circle on a piece of paper or give them a paper plate. Tell the group that the circle they just drew represents a day in their life. Ask the group to think about or jot down on a scratch piece of paper the amount of time they spend doing different things. Example: the amount of time you sleep on a typical day, at school, at various activities, daydreaming, doing church things, with friends, alone. Then transfer their list to their circle, represented by slices that are labeled. After the group has finished slicing their life pies, have them share what they're read to with the group.
