“The Silly Honest Handshake Challenge”

A laughter game that teaches trust, truth, and connection.

How Many Players:

1 child + adult, or 2–6 children

Supplies:

None — just hands and giggles.

How to Play

1. Start with the “True Handshake”

Everyone practices a simple, gentle handshake while saying:
“This is my honest handshake.”
(This anchors the theme: truth begins in simple actions.)
