Welcoming and Entering

Materials for Activity

  • Photographs or other images of people demonstrating courage and conviction

Preparation for Activity

  • Collect images of people demonstrating courage and conviction (see "Find Out More" for suggestions).

Description of Activity

This activity is intended for the time before the session when children arrive individually, that is, "straggle in."

Welcome participants. Invite them to wander around the room, looking at the pictures, and thinking about what they see in them. Encourage participants to talk with one another about what they think is happening in the pictures.
