How to play Celebrate Their Win
A friend is delighted that their first drawing is finished. What reply makes room for their joy? Read the scenario and consider three replies. Choose a considerate response without guessing somebody’s private feelings.
Your starting point
A friend is delighted that their first drawing is finished. What reply makes room for their joy?
The rules
Read the scenario and all the possible replies. Choose the response that respects the person’s stated needs and choices. Review the feedback and reflect on the wording.
A helpful approach
Use only the information in the scenario. Look for a response that asks, listens or explains clearly without assuming what another person secretly thinks. Notice a modest delight rather than waiting for a perfect day.
After the game
What made one response leave more room for the other person’s own choice? Which ordinary moment would you like to celebrate with someone who might have missed it?
There is no need to turn a small moment into a perfect performance. Play again if you want to explore it, or leave it here and take the thought into your day.
The feeling behind it
A burst of colour, a shared laugh, a tiny reason to celebrate. Joy can be loud, quiet, brief or completely unexpected.
A living music and dance tradition inspires this celebration; frevo is not a synonym for joy.
Read our joy story, inspired by Frevo in Recife, Brazil. The UNESCO: Frevo, performing arts of the Carnival of Recife provides the source context.
