  • Drafting responses: Allow each family member to write their thoughts (10 min). Encourage the youngest members to draw their thoughts and assign someone to be their scribe.
  • Finally: Discuss: Let each family member share their “April Fool’s“ creation. Remind them that respectful listeners make eye contact with the person sharing without interrupting.
