Positivity Presents: A Classroom Activity

Bring Joy To Your Classroom

This project is good for any elementary school classroom. It uses writing skills, and encourages students to be positive with eachother, and gives a holiday present for each child to treasure.

The Activity

1. Get a sheet of paper to each student. Have them write their name on the paper and a positive statement about themselves.

2. Pass papers around the room. Have each student writes something nice about each of the others [on the appropriate sheet].

3. Collect the papers and do not let the original student see their sheet. You want to be certain that nothing hurtful was said.

4. Type all the comments using a fancy font. Then, for each student, print the statements onto a sheet of nice parchment paper, roll it up, and tie a ribbon around it.

Students will love getting this gift for the holidays. Anticipation only increases their enjoyment.
