Give each family member a plain scoop of vanilla ice cream. Explain that the vanilla ice cream is good by itself, like doing what is expected of you is good. Then ask who would like to have toppings on their ice cream. Explain that the toppings are like going the second mile. When you go the second mile it makes it the task sweeter, like the toppings makes the ice cream sweeter. |
