Habit 6: Synergize

In this package, we will focus on Habit 6: Synergize.

Below you will find a list of 5 activities for you to do with
your family. You can choose to do as many as you have
time for.

At the bottom of the page, you will find links for story-read
alouds related to this week’s topic. You can view these on
any of your devices.

1. Do a tidy up of your room, your house, or your yard. Ask a family member if
you can help or ask them to help you. Working together makes the job more
fun and it gets done faster!
2. Get a big long rope and do some jump rope! You will need 3 people – 2 to
turn the rope and one jumping in the middle OR you can find a handy tree or
fence post to tie one end to.
3. Create a pillow and blanket fort! Use your strengths to build the ultimate
hang out spot that is inviting and strong. Just make sure to ask a parent
before sticking anything into walls.
4. Try the “no-hands cup stacking challenge”. You will need 6 disposable or
plastic cups, 1 rubber band, and 1 foot of string per person. How can you
work together to stack the cups into a pyramid WITHOUT TOUCHING THE
CUPS WITH YOUR HANDS?
5. Grab a puzzle for some quiet time and work on it with your family. Don’t have
a puzzle? Make your own by creating your own picture full of colour and then
cutting it out into pieces. Can you put it back together?
