School Days

Use a basket of school supplies to help group members talk about their school memories.

Put several "school" items into a basket. Without telling your group what you are going to do pass the basket and let them draw out an item. After everyone has an item ask them to tell the group how that particular item reminds them of their school days.

Possible items: scissors, eraser, crayons, ruler, tennis shoes, colored pencils, lunch box, red pencil, pencils/pens, paper
