Gratitude Ball Toss
...Gratitude Questions for Kids
An at-home or in-class discussion game about Gratitude. This idea was originally contributed to Rotation.org during the COVID pandemic when Sunday Schools were shut down. It's still a great idea for in-class and at-home use. You can even use it with multiple beachballs in a worship or fellowship setting.
Beachball Option: The questions can be written on the different panels of a beach ball which is then tossed and caught. Whichever question your right hand is on is the one you must answer. You can also write questions on paper slips colored or numbered the same as the panels on the ball.
Box Option: Write questions or numbers on the sides of a large decorated square box. Roll it like a dice to determine which question the roller has to answer.
Board Game Options: Add numbers to each question too if you want to "advance X number of spaces" on a board game (squares on the floor or drawn on paper).
