Thoughts and Ideas 4/18
Conversation Starter
Water. Challenge yourself to think of the part water plays in every part of your life from your biology, to your environment, activities, even your possessions. Can you find a single thing untouched by water?
Creative Experiment
Find a surface that shows water when wet i.e Marley or cement floor surface, chalkboard or butcher paper taped to the the wall or floor. Fill the bottom of a container with water or make a puddle outdoors. Dip your socked feet, or gloved hands in the water wearing socks. Dance keeping feet or hands in contact with the surface, leaving a trail of dance. Observe the pattern you created. Then respond as the evidence of your movement evaporates. Reflect and discuss the experience.
