Holiday Wheel Ideas
Theme Nights
Assign each section a different holiday theme, like Winter Wonderland, Santa’s Workshop or Reindeer Games and plan activities accordingly.
Acts of Kindness
Include prompts that encourage giving back, like Donate to a charity of your choice or Write a thank you note to someone special.
What can we teach with the Holiday Wheel?
Arriving on a China's Lunar New Year section, for instance, may be a fascinating exercise combining learning about the celebration with creating paper lanterns. Another spin could be Kwanzaa and go over the ideas of self determination and solidarity. This makes the game enjoyable and aware of world variety as well as motivates players to appreciate and celebrate customs not their own.
Through integrating educational and social components to the wheel, we can also mix enjoyment with important messages.
One section can have participants undertake a random act of kindness, such as writing holiday cards to service members abroad or donating toys to a nearby charity.
Another may be a brief quiz on holiday environmental preservation to raise knowledge of eco friendly habits like recycling wrapping paper or cutting electricity use. Including these components into our game gives chances for education and charity as well as helps the holiday experience to be more about empathy, social responsibility and giving.
