How do bubbles and people compare? August 3, 2022 was another Intergenerational Reading & Seeding Event at Keystone Place at Legacy Ridge, Westminster Colorado. We kicked it off by watching bubbles float while children described them. We heard:
- They are pretty
- There’s so many
- They have different colors
- They are different shaped
- I can see through them
- Some are bigger than others
- Some are flying higher
- Some are older and flying away
- One just popped
- I love bubbles
Then we asked how you describe the older people around them compared to themselves. We heard:
- They are older
- They have gray hair
- They have wrinkles
- I think they are smarter
- They look like they’re nice
- They are smiling at us
So how are the bubbles like people? We learned that:
- We are all different
- We all are pretty
- Some of us are big and some of us are small
- Some have been around longer
- We love all people
This was the beginning of another event with an Intergenerational/Inclusive story with a local author, related craft, and snacks with children ages 4-8, seniors, and a couple generational groups in-between. It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood on the porch of Keystone Place strengthening self-image, self-identity, and spending time with different generations.
