Family Activity Guide

Eight small ways to carry the lamp at home. Pick one for today, or try one each day for a week. There’s no right way to do them, and no score to keep.

🔦 Light Hunt
Find three ways someone helped another person today.

🍲 Kitchen Lamp
Prepare a simple nourishing food together. Grown-ups handle knives and heat.

💃 Move the Light
Choose a fun family movement activity: a walk, a dance, a game of tag.

🌙 Quiet Lamp
Practice one minute of calm breathing together.

🤝 Community Lamp
Help someone without expecting anything in return.

🕯️ Memory Lamp
Tell a story about someone in your family.

🌲 Nature Lamp
Go outside and notice five things.

🙏 Gratitude Lamp
Name three things that brought light today.

For grown-ups: These are educational family activities, not treatment. Adapt them to your child’s age, abilities, and any food allergies, and check with your own clinician about individual health needs. Children are never responsible for keeping adults healthy; these activities are simply for enjoying together.
