The Loss of Time

• Without showing the title: What do you think this picture represents? Why? Could it represent anything else? Could it represent different things to different people?
• Share the title: The Loss of Time. Is it possible to lose something that you can’t see or touch? What other examples can you think of? (e.g. losing hope, losing will…)
• What does it mean if you ‘lose’ time? Where does it go? Can you ‘find’ it again?
• Is losing time the same as wasting time?
• How do you waste time?
• How do you value time?
• How could you encourage others to make the most of every minute?
• Does time pass in different ways? Think of a situation when time has passed slowly; think of a situation when time has passed quickly. Why do you think this is?
• What other questions do you have about time? Think of a question that has a clear right/wrong answer; think of a question that will stimulate discussion but doesn’t have a clear answer.
