Info

Tears in a Bottle: provide 1 or 2-ounce bottles with a secure cork or lid, a couple ofmeasuring cups with pour spouts, water and food colors. Make labels for the bottles, ifdesired (Avery template available at www.kidtalkgrief.com.) The bottles can bedecorated with ribbon, flowers, stickers, etc. The children can collectively decide whatcolor to make their tears. Psalm 56:8 says, “You have taken note of my journey throughlife, caught each of my tears in Your bottle.” This verse is available as a PDF atwww.kidtalkgrief.com. These little bottles of tears remind us of this important truth.Recite together the “Tears” poem on p. 5 of Our Story.Happy Snaps: are when you close your eyes and picture the person who died doingsomething that makes you smile. It is an indelible memory. Sharing “happy snaps” at theend of a session (for kids and adults) helps bring us back to cognitive function and a happyplace.Snack: Dulce de Leche, is Spanish for “sweet of milk.” It is made by gently boiling a canof condensed milk under water for two hours. Cool before opening the can. The result isa caramel-like dip for (green) apple wedges or pears. Store refrigerated in a coveredcontainer. Invite the children to spoon out some Dulce de Leche onto their plates fordipping. Use an apple corer/wedge cutter to cut the apples. Place the apple on a cuttingboard on the seat of a chair, making it low enough for the kids to apply the pressureneeded to cut through the apple. Allow one apple per child.OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES:Keep the supplies for these activities handy to use as needed or when theymight be appropriate.Beaded Bracelets: bracelet elastic and lots of alphabet beads and spacer “pony” beadsare all that are needed for this project. The children like to make the name of their lovedone who died. They help each other find specific letters. This is a good “icebreaker” or“filler” activity to have on hand. If the attendance is low, it is easy to run through all theplanned activities. The bracelet is a popular way to “memorialize.”Tickets: tickets can serve as positive reinforcement for children participating well andstaying on task. Use them as rewards for contributing to the discussion, being a goodlistener, remembering well, etc. Save the tickets for a future drawing. We seldom usethe tickets as they are just not needed. However, some temperaments respond very wellto this kind of motivation. The tickets are good to have as a “back-up” plan.35
