- Express gratitude by identifying and showcasing beauty all around you
- Setup: Prepare an outline of a tree on a blank piece of bulletin board paper.
- Split into smaller groups.
- Spend 15 minutes having each person draw or describe things they find beautiful on their pieces of paper
- As people complete their drawings/descriptions, they should come up and post their paper to the tree outlined
- Once everyone is done, go through the discussion questions below.
- What did you draw/describe? What did you find beautiful about them?
- How did you feel while you drew/described?
- How do you feel about the tree of all of things your club finds beauty in?
- If budget allows, one way to adapt this activity is to take picture of the things folks find beautiful around them using Polaroid or phone camera (and then print it out). They can then post their pictures on the tree outlined.
- Note that it is important to gain consent first if you plan on taking a picture of a person.
