LEADER: The clean dustpan and broom symbolize the woman’s tools in searching for her lost coin. Each person in the group takes a turn, puts a coin in the dustpan, and tells about a person whose memory he or she doesn’t want to lose. It can be a person important in history, in the news, in one’s family or neighborhood.
