The Unicorns decided to play musical chairs. We started our play with every friend having a chair. We explained that as we circled around the chairs listening to music, once the music stopped we all needed to find a chair in which sit. As we continued our play, listening, circling, and stopping the music one chair would be eliminated each time.The question became, what could we do as not everyone would have a chair as we continued?
Your children, who are so kind and thoughtful had the following solutions:
1) make room for others, and share the chairs
2) one friend actually offered his chair to another friend
3) one friend said, we can all sit together on the floor
Wow is all one can say. Your children took a competitive game and had fun learning how to share their space and make sure all were happy at the end.
Such thoughtful kind Unicorn friends!!!
Thanks for inviting me to watch this game. What an amazing way to encourage kindness. I loved hearing shouts of "I'll share with you!" each time the music stopped. AWESOME game! And such a simple twist. I wonder what other spins on it we could come up with.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your newer kinder version of Musical Chairs. When I was in nursery school I hated musical chairs -- as my mother always reminds me! How nice that the Unicorns share their chairs!
