Scavenger Hunt
A scavenger hunt with a social-emotional perspective. Do one item at a time, or make a list and give everyone a set time to find something that fits for them. For example, read one prompt and give everyone 1 minute to find that item, or give 5 minutes total and you have to gather all 5 items (or however many you use). Then gather as a family and share what you found and why you picked it! Below are some ideas, or create your own!
Una búsqueda
Una búsqueda con una perspective social y emocional. Primero, haga una lista de cosas para buscar. Puede hacer una cosa a la vez o dar la lista a cada persona y decida cuánto tiempo es necesario para buscar todo para todo el mundo. Por ejemplo, después de crear la lista, lea una y todo el mundo puede recibir un minuto para buscar esa cosa. O sea dé 5 minutos en total para buscar las 5 cosas (puede usted elegir cuántas cosas quiere usar). Después de todo, se reúna como familia y cada persona debe compartir las cosas que buscó y por qué la esogió. Abajo hay algunas ideas de usar o puede crear nuevas ideas.
