1st Activity- Birthday Lineup- Explain that we will make a large semicircle around the sides and back of the room. We will line
up according to birthdate (month and date) closest to
today. The line will start by the cafeteria door and go along
the side wall, the back wall, then up this side wall, ending
by the playground door. Go.
Once everyone is in line, we will pair up with the person
across from you (on the other side of the room). This will
be your birthday partner for todays meeting. Once with
your birthday partner, explain what you know/think is the
difference
