Can the group finish Spring Clean Donation Sort with one shared memory, one useful observation, and no need to buy anything extra?
Pro Tip
Set out the supplies and state the finish line before inviting anyone in. A clear ending keeps this activity feeling like an adventure instead of another open-ended project.
Safety First
Clear tripping hazards, keep movement away from stairs and breakable items, and offer seated or low-sensory roles so everyone can participate comfortably. Stop if anyone feels overwhelmed or uncomfortable.
