Musical Chairs and Bear Hugs

In PDMU this week we played different games to explore how they make us feel. Musical chairs was fun and exciting to begin with, but we felt a bit ‘sad’, ‘grumpy’ and ‘angry’ when we got put out. Then we played Bear Hugs. In this game, every time the music stops, we hug our friends around a spot on the floor. Each time the teacher took away a spot, so our group hugs got bigger and bigger! Until finally we all had one big group hug as a class. This game made us feel ‘happy’. We chatted afterwards about how important it is to make sure we include everyone in our games and don’t leave anyone out.
