ACTIVITY Nº28:“ GOOD-BYE, FEARS, GOOD-BYE!! ”
AGE from 4 years up PARTICIPANTS the whole class PLACE classroom MATERIAL Paper handkerchief, marker, some stones, a place with soil or a garden, plastic marbles NOTES	OBJETIVE To learn how to elaborate on infantile fears
Development of the activity The children meet in small groups to converse and to share their fears. The key is to say the biggest fear that each one feels. When all have chosen the biggest fear they have, they should draw it or write it on a paper handkerchief with a marker. Later on they wrap up with the handkerchief the plastic marbles and they bury them outdoors in the ground or in a space that is wide enough to fit all the handkerchiefs with a space of 10 centimeters between them. Each stone, previously identified with the name of a child, is placed where the marble is buried. Six months later the marbles are taken out and the children will see that their handkerchiefs (their fears) have disappeared!
