Activity: "Habits, Habits, Habits"Purpose: To illustrate how we all get into habits and it usually takes concentration and effort to break established habits.
Directions: The following four activities all accomplish the same objective. Only one needs to be done to make the point. However, doing two of them is interesting in that, even after being “tricked” once, most people in the audience can be “tricked” the second time as well. 1. Ask the participants to say Stop! out loud five times in unison. Count to three and lead the participants in doing this. Then ask what do they do when they come to a green light? Most will say "stop" even though the correct answer is "go." 2. Ask the participants to say "silk" out loud five times in unison. Count to three and lead the participants in doing this. Ask the group, "What do cows drink?" Most will say "milk" even though the correct answer is "water." 3. Ask the participants to say "ten" out loud five times in unison. Count to three and lead the participants in doing this. Ask them, "What are aluminum cans made of?" Most will say "tin" even though the correct answer is "aluminum." 4. Ask the participants to say “joke” out loud five times in unison. Count to three and lead the participants in doing this. Ask them, "What do we call the white of the egg?" Most will say “yolk” even though the correct answerm is “the white.” An alternative to this is to have the participants spell “joke,” “folk,” and “poke.” Then ask them what we call the white of the egg. Laughter is a good jump-start to any meeting! Make it a Habit! |
