Objective
Have you ever noticed how one small negative moment can stick in your mind - even if lots of good things happened, too? In this activity, you’ll explore how your brain works and practice ways to see a fuller, more balanced picture.
Time Estimate
~50–55 minutes
Materials
Your teacher will provide these materials for you and your partner:
Two small cups or containers (labeled Positive and Negative)
About 20 small objects (beans, coins, paper clips, etc.)
Paper or a journal for reflection
(If materials are limited, you can draw two circles on paper and make checkmarks instead of using cups.)
