THIS SUNDAY, JULY, 17 LET'S PAINT A MURAL!!!

July 10, 2011 KOSKUNA - LIKEs & DISLIKEs

Today we decided to do a simple activity with the kids to see how they feel about Koskuna as a place to live. We divided them into two groups, and each of them needed to have a partner to collaborate with on the project. One group of kids was supposed to draw on one large piece of paper all the things that they like about their community. The other group was supposed to draw all that they do not like about Koskuna. Every couple had 20 seconds to draw their idea, and after a couple of minutes the groups would switch. It was a very powerful exercise! The kids new exactly what they did not like (guns, violence, drugs, death, abuse, cigarets, alcohol, etc.)  and what they liked (sun, nature, flowers, art, music, trees, animals, peace, etc.) Take a look at the pictures:
