DREAM GAME - could be done with more advanced students
 

Dream Game

Take a piece of paper and write down the different descriptions, etc., that you have to do in this short game:

Imagine you �re walking down a path, any path, anywhere. 

  • Describe the path - straight / winding / narrow / wide
  • Where is it? -  mountain / forest / beach / city

As you are walking along the path, you find a stick on the ground.

  • Describe the stick  -  size / colour / age
  • What do you do with it?    pick it up / kick it

Now you come across a fallen tree.

  • Describe it  - size / colour / age
  • What do you do?  -  jump over it / go round it

Next you see a bear on the path. 

  • Describe it.
  • What do you do?

Now you come to a river.

  • Describe it.
  • What do you do?

Finally you come to a wall.  It �s too high to climb, too long to walk around and you can �t dig under it.  What do you do?

Solution

  The path represents your interpretation of life in general.

  The stick represents life�s small problems and how you deal with them

  The tree represents life�s big problems and how you deal with them.

  The bear represents the opposite sex.

  The river represents marriage.

  The wall represents death.
