Goal:
To become aware that Unitarian Universalists treasure each person’s special way of looking at things.

Activities:

1. Doodles: Make enough copies of the doodles from these pages (Doodle 1, Doodle 2, Doodle 3, Doodle 4) so each person has a copy. Ask everyone to make a picture out of the scribble. After you complete them all, share your drawings. Talk about how the same scribble suggested different ideas to different people. Suggest another way of completing the picture that most would not have thought of because it is not part of the daily world.

2. Play The Big Picture Game (this is a large image)

3. Play “What in the world?” National Geographic website link: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/world/games/whatintheworld/0203/witw.html

Discussion:
Everyone has their own special view of the world. Your experiences, interests, tastes, and personality all influence how you see the world. Unitarian Universalists treasure this fact of life. We celebrate our differences. We believe the world is a better place because we each have a special way of looking at things. This goes for religion, too. Not all UUs believe the same thing, and we like it that way.
