How Long Is A Minute?

This game will be our "Shaanti Circle" exercise in learning how to quieten ourselves. Our circle leader (with a watch in hand) will ask all the children to close their eyes and sit silently. Then, the circle leader will ask the children to raise their hands when they think a minute has passed. The one closest to a minute wins.

We will increase our time to 2 minutes, 3 minutes, etc. as the summer progresses (and when the children are ready.)
