Reflection Time Adventure: Discover Your Privileges!

Join us for the Reflection Time Adventure! This important activity encourages families to reflect on their privileges and explore how they can use them to help others. Let’s dive deep and discover together!

Why Reflect on Privileges?

Understanding our privileges helps children develop empathy and awareness about the world around them. It encourages gratitude and inspires action to help those in need.

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

You’ll need:

• Paper and pens: For jotting down your thoughts.
• A comfortable space: To sit together and reflect.

Step 2: Discuss Privileges

1. Talk Together: Sit in a circle and discuss what privileges mean. Explain that privileges can include things like having enough food, access to education, or living in a safe neighbourhood.
2. Share Experiences: Encourage everyone to share their thoughts on their own privileges. What do you appreciate in your lives?

Step 3: Reflect and Write

1. Jot Down Your Thoughts: Have each family member write down a few privileges they recognise in their lives. This can include personal achievements and comforts.
2. Discuss How to Help: As a family, brainstorm ways to use these privileges to help others. Here are some ideas:
• Volunteering time at a local shelter.
• Donating clothes or toys to those in need.
• Supporting local charities.

Step 4: Take Action

1. Plan Your Actions: Choose one or two ways your family can help others and create a plan together.
2. Follow Through: Commit to taking action and helping out in your community!

Safety Tips:

• Ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable sharing their thoughts. Respect each other’s feelings and opinions.
