Students will share compliments with their peers in order to build a community of kindness and care while helping to support the growth of others’ confidence. Students will then affirm compliments they receive from their peers in order to build their own personal confidence.

Students choose a name of another student at random without sharing. Each student spends the day/week “spying” on their person and then shares one thing they are grateful for about them at the end to build social awareness and relationships.

With this activity, students are tasked with creating a hope, wish, dream or goal for the class each day as an intention. By the end of the year, the links will be long enough to wrap around the class as a whole; enveloping the students in all of their hopes and dreams of the year.
