Register Your Cheer
A fun and meaningful game you can play with your family—or even your extended family—for some wholesome bonding time.
Family Encouragement Game
Items Needed:
-
Paper or index cards
-
Pens
-
Safety pins
Preparation:
Pin a piece of paper or card onto the back of each participant using a safety pin. Give each person a pen.
Directions:
Have everyone mingle around and write something kind on each person’s paper. It could be something you admire, appreciate, or enjoy about that person.
This game pairs well with lessons or discussions on charity, encouragement, or friendship.
Once everyone has written on each other’s papers, have the group sit down and read their messages silently. Afterwards, invite them to share their thoughts or feelings about the experience.
Example:
If there are 5 people playing, each person receives a sheet of paper pinned to their back and a pen.
Once everyone is ready, they walk around and write positive comments on the others’ papers.
Each participant writes on the other 4 people's papers until everyone has written something—or until time runs out.
