Sibling tree
- ages 3–9
- 35 min
Children draw themselves and their siblings on the leaves of a shared tree in the room.
Steps
- Conversation: who has a brother or sister, what they do together, sometimes they argue and how they make up.
- Children who do not have siblings draw cousins or best friends.
- Each child draws themselves and loved ones on a paper leaf.
- You glue the leaves to a large trunk on the wall.
- Pair game: mirror, in which one child imitates the other's movements.
Tip: Make sure no one feels worse if they don't have siblings; talk about loved ones.
Materials needed
- coloured paper (1 block per 4 children)
- coloured pencils (1 set per 2 children)
