How many ways can you give thanks?
A great Thanksgiving game.
This is a Synapse Game based on “The Gift of a
Question”.
How many ways can you be Thankful? How many ways
can you feel Gratitude? This year on Turkey Day, play this game with
your friends and family. The game uses open-ended statements and
questions to move everyone into thanks-giving and a happier more
celebratory state.
How to Play.
Everyone will need a piece of paper and a pen. Write down the
question. Set a timer for a minute or two. Then begin. Each person
will put small checkmarks for each answer they get, after the
question. When
the time is up each person counts up their checkmarks and everyone
wins. After the game you can share some of your favorite answers and
get a great conversation going about the things we are most grateful
for and the proofs that life is good.
Set a timer
and see who can check off the most answers in one or two minutes.
Decide on a
question that you like (everyone writes down the question) set the
timer and go. Place checkmarks after each question for each happy
thought you think. The checkmark is like the "Ca-Ching" in your
mental bank account.
Each
checkmark is a new synapse in your brain that enhances your brain
chemistry, gives you happiness and cheers you up.
There are
many ways to focus on how thankful we are, and the language of the
question accesses different parts of the mind. You will love playing
this game with family and friends on Thanksgiving. Here are some
examples of different ways to word the question.
This year I
am so thankful for…
This is a good time in my life
because…
I
am so grateful for...
I have wonderful people in my life
like …
I appreciate...
What I enjoy about life is…
Make up your
own open-ended statements and questions. The right way of saying it
is up to you and one different word or phrase can trigger a new
cascade of thankful energy. Do it every day.
