Tell About Your Past Week (or Event)

Pipe Cleaner Art
Give everyone a pipe cleaner and have them shape it into what their last week has been like. Every person then tells about what they made and how it describes their week.

Cereal Description
Bring three or four different kinds of cereal that could be useful in describing one's week. Pass the cereal boxes around and have each person take a handful of the cereal that best describes his past week. Then, have each tell why he chose the type of cereal to describe his week. For example: Lucky Charms – I felt like things went well for me this week because... ; Fruit Loops – I felt like I was going in loops, up and down, all week because… .
