Consequences

Consequences is a sit-down, large group activity that requires index cards.

Directions
Distribute one index card to each child. On the index card, each kid writes an "if" statement, such as: "If you cross the street without looking" or "If you give a mouse a cookie". It's important that the kids do not write what would happen as a result of these "if" statements.

The kids then flip their cards over and pass them to their right. Without flipping the cards back over, each child must now write a "then" statement, such as: "Then you'll never get your money back" or "Then you'll get married next year". The kids then get their original cards back and share. If done correctly, this activity can create some funny and surreal cause-and-effect chains.
