"Bucket Toss"
Activity
Summary
Participants will internalize a “less is more” philosophy
Instructional Strategies
1. Prepare two buckets and laminated pictures or drawings of various needs and wants, or have the items on hand.
2. Have youth toss the items in a "want" bucket and a "needs" bucket.
3. Once the items are in the buckets, have them gather the wants and needs separately into two categories, writing them out or drawing them.
4. Next, have them think about the value of the "less is more" philosophy in our interconnected world, as well as the universal needs of all humans.
