Description of Activity
Briefly summarize the day's session with words like these:
Today's Big Question asks "Is life fair?" Our answer is "No, life is not fair." However, as Unitarian Universalists, we can and should work to make things fairer. We saw how to be fair in connection with a snack, and heard some quotes about fairness. Our story was about Unitarian Universalists working to make life more fair. In WCUU, we considered what sixth graders might do in situations they feel are unfair. In WIT Time, we gave our own responses to ideas about fairness.
Distribute the Taking It Home handout. Suggest participants use the activities to continue exploring the themes of today's session.
Relight the chalice. Ask the group to say these closing words with you:
May this light shine on in each of us as we search for the answers to our own biggest questions.
Extinguish the chalice (or ask the Kid for the Day to do it). Sound the bell or tingshas to end the session.
