After playing the game, debrief by asking if it was easier or harder to catch when you were farther away from your partner. You can also eliminate teams if they drop the toy until you have one team left. For variation, if they drop the toy they have to take a step closer and try again. The goal is to see how far apart they can get and still catch the toy. They will then take another step back and toss again. (Tennis ball, egg, water balloon, whatever you want.) The children will toss the toy to their partner, then both kids will take one step back, and then toss the toy again. Give each child in one row a toy decorated like a bee. Have a space of about three feet between the rows. Line up children in two rows, shoulder to shoulder, facing each other. In what ways have you bought into the self-reliant, self-esteem, self-promotion mentality of our culture? What changes do you need to make to your life to be poorer in spirit?
