The Hand You Are Dealt

What are your dreams for the future?

Bring as many playing cards as you have people in your group. Using only the 2, 3, 4, and 5 cards, pass out a card to each group member. Ask them to think about the future for a minute. What are some things they would like to do before they die?

After they've thought for a minute, go around the circle and have each person tell the number of future dreams that matches the number on their card. For example, if get a member get a 2 card, he or she might say: "I want to travel to Israel. I want to build a greenhouse."
