Title:
Back In My Day
Description:
“Back In My Day” is a creative, reflective, and fun event where we will draw, write, and reflect about what we enjoyed growing up and how we think about it today. Starting with an ice breaker, we will sketch an image and introduce ourselves to the group. The main activity will then be to pick one of three activities. The first activity will be to draw or write a favorites list of what you enjoyed or were interested in when you were growing up, the second activity will be to write a descriptive poem about an item or accessory you couldn’t live without or you were excited to have as a child or teen, and the third activity will be to write a how-to guide to your younger self showing them how to navigate a hardship or challenge you overcame. Lastly, we will close by sharing our works of art.
Materials:
Paper, writing utensils (pen, pencil, markers, or crayons).
Schedule:
2:00 – 2:20: Introductions and Ice breaker
2:20 – 3:00: Main Activity
3:00 – 3:30: Sharing and Closing
Hope to see you there!
