Lucky Word and Situation

What you need: Paper, pen, and a small instrument to move around in a circle. Choose a poem, print it, and cut verses out of it.

  1. Start with the instrument. It must be one that can be moved around easily. For example, a cymbal, a small music box or a finger piano. The instrument gives the power to speak. Whoever has it can speak and they must use it in order to place thinking in a state of creative play.
  2. Go around the circle, play the instrument, and say a random word.
  3. Once the circle has been completed, repeat all the random words.
  4. Go around the circle, play the instrument, and say a random situation.
  5. Once the circle has been completed, repeat all the random words and situations.
  6. Place the cut out verses in a receptacle. Go around the circle, play the instrument, and pick one verse.
  7. Read it out loud.
  8. Once the circle has been completed, repeat all the random words, the situations, and the verse.
