Toy Memory

A bag full of toys (dolls, Slinkies, wooden spoons, balls, stuffed animals, cars, etc.) are spread on the floor in the middle of the circle. As each member spots a toy that brings up a childhood memory, he/she is encouraged to take and hold the toy. The group will then go around and share the memories in detail. After the group has finished sharing and if time permits, each member, one at a time, will give his/her toy to another person in the group who might benefit from the toy, the experience described, or the things the member has learned from the experience. One at a time, each member will share why he/she is giving this toy to the other person.
