Christmas Market. A Game for Togetherness

🎂 5 + years ⏱️ 20 min 📍 Anywhere ⭐ easy

Imagine you are all together at the Christmas market. Lights everywhere. It smells like roasted almonds. Now the game begins. One person says what you are doing at the Christmas market. The next person builds on that idea. No one says no. No one laughs. All ideas are welcome. For example: "We are walking around the Christmas market." "And we are drinking children's punch." "And we are riding the carousel." "And we wish all children a Merry Christmas." This creates a long list of ideas. You notice: When ideas are accepted, no one feels left out. This helps against bullying. The game shows how important listening, participating, and openness are. It demonstrates how easily togetherness can be created, not just at Christmas.

How it works

Choose a location together. It can be the Christmas market, but also the swimming pool, the mountains, the playground, or the school. This helps you practice agreeing on a common idea.
Start with a suggestion of what you will do there. Everyone listens. Listening is important so that no one feels overlooked.
Accept the idea without saying no. This teaches you to take others seriously. It helps against exclusion and bullying.
Add a new idea. This fosters collaboration instead of competition. Keep going until many ideas are collected. Everyone gets a turn. No one is left out.
