This activity will take place in the form of a discussion, followed by a yoga session. This activity’s objective is:
For children to identify, discuss, and reflect on support systems present in their lives.
If you saved the Trees of Trust, hand them out to the kids who participated. This acts as a visual prompt for the kids during the discussion. Place the Trees of Trust in front of the yoga mat.
Start with a leaded discussion surrounding support. Have fun with the discussion! Be creative. See where it goes! Some prompted questions are:
- Who supports you?
- How do they support you?
- Who do you support?
- How do you support them?
- How could you be a better friend?
- How could you be a better daughter/son/brother/sister?
Next, encourage the children to visualize these people they support and reflect for a few deep breaths.
Move into the yoga session and continue to reflect.
