Games are a really great way to have fun and bond with your kids.\u00a0 I\u2019d like to share a game called:\u00a0 \u201cWho Am I?\u201d\u00a0 It is a game you can play one-on-one with your child or as a group with anyone that would like to join.\u00a0 In \u201cWho Am I,\u201d you are gathering information about yourself and sharing it with others.\u00a0 Through sharing, you are promoting self-awareness and positive feelings towards yourself and each other.<\/p>\n
Materials:<\/p>\n
Sheet of paper with t-shirt outline: Two for each person<\/p>\n
Markers<\/p>\n
Other decorative supplies<\/p>\n
Directions:\u00a0 Give each person two sheets of paper with t-shirt outline – one for the front of the shirt and one for the back.\u00a0 On the front of the shirt, write what people know about you – things that on the surface are obvious (Girl, brown hair, green eyes, 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0grade, etc.). \u00a0On the back of the shirt, you are going to write things that are deeper than the surface, or not known to the general public \u00a0(Afraid of the dark, doesn\u2019t like broccoli, gets upset when people interrupt them).<\/p>\n Discussion:\u00a0 After you do this, have each person share with the group or the other person what they put on each side of the shirt and why.\u00a0 Then, have a discussion about what similarities and what differences we might have with each other and how we respect each other with this knowledge.\u00a0 It might also be important to impart to your child that we won\u2019t always know each person we encounter as well as the people in the group, but that everyone has their own unique perspective on the world just like we do.\u00a0 This game is a great way that we can teach respect for ourselves, and others.<\/p>\n Submitted By: Grace Jackson, Social Worker Intern<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Games are a really great way to have fun and bond with your kids.\u00a0 I\u2019d like to share a game called:\u00a0 \u201cWho Am I?\u201d\u00a0 It is a game you can play one-on-one with your child or as a group with anyone that would like to join.\u00a0 In \u201cWho Am I,\u201d you are gathering information about […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":885,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/johnstk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/johnstk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/johnstk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/johnstk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/885"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/johnstk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/johnstk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/johnstk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/johnstk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/johnstk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
