How to Create a Happiness Zone at Home?
Materials Needed:
- A transparent jar
- Smiley face sticker or decorations to make the jar cheerful
- Small treats (like chocolates, toffees, raisins, or nuts)
1. Set Up the Happiness Jar:
- Find a clear jar and place it in a spot where everyone in the family can easily reach it.
- Decorate the jar with a smiley face or any fun design to make it inviting.
2. Introduce the Activity:
- Tell your family that every time they feel happy, they can drop a small treat into the jar.
- Encourage everyone to add as many treats as they want-every time they feel a moment of joy, they get to add one!
3. Observe and Reflect:
- Watch as the jar fills up throughout the week.
- At the end of the week, gather the family for a quick talk about the experience. Ask questions like:
- What made you happy this week?
- How did it feel when the jar was empty compared to when it’s filling up?
- What can we do to make it fill up even more?
4. Extend the Fun:
- Share the idea with friends or neighbors and see how they use their jars.
- Keep track of who adds the most or least treats and talk about what can make everyone feel more joyful.
5. Optional Challenge:
- Try doing this activity during a break or over the summer and see if the family can work together to fill the jar even faster!
This activity is a fun way to share experiences from day-to-day moments. Its a great way to connect with each other in the family, showing them how much you love and care for them.
For a twist, try doing it at work and at school and change the treats as per your taste.
Best wishes and Keep smiling!
