Kindness Day
We had a table that focused on consent, boundaries, bravery, trust, and connection, with a spinner game that pointed people to questions. Risa interacted with people of all ages, preschoolers to adults and everyone in between. Many youth sent their friends over to spin the wheel and talk about the questions, some returned themselves for longer conversations. Several adults who work at schools inquired about Not Child’s Play coming to their school for discussion and activities. Several people walked away with a copy of Not Child’s Play. Anyone could pick a sticker and/or take a handout. Risa gave out 91 stickers and 35 handouts, and we had amazing conversations and interactions.
