Being brave doesn't mean you're never afraid. It means doing what needs to be done despite being afraid. March's theme was FEAR FACTOR, as in not letting fear factor into our decisions about how to live.
Each week we had a "Courage Challenge" that allowed kids to face a fear but with a fun twist...it started with having the courage to VOLUNTEER before they knew the challenge!
Some of the challenges included being blind folded and putting their hands into spaghetti mush (they didn't know what is was) and find 5 small stones, one day they had to see who cold drink a "fruit smoothie" the fastest (which was baby food), and another day they had to sing into the microphone to a song that only they could hear in their headphones...and another day they had to go through an obstacle coarse blindfolded while a friend gave them the instructions on how to get through it.
They were challenged throughout each week to have courage in everyday situations and learning what to do when they were afraid.
