It was Blindfold Night! The kids wore blindfolds throughout dinner. (The adults got a pass to help out where needed.) The kids were silly and we had lots of fun, but it also provided an opportunity to talk about people with “different abilities” and the obstacles they overcome. It also was a good chance to be thankful for things we take for granted, like our sight!
After dinner, I gave each of the kids, still blindfolded, some paper and a pen and instructed them to draw a picture. I had them draw a scene with a house, a person by the house, a cat, a dog, the sun, clouds, etc.
