Teachers, save “Affirmation Circle” to assign it to your class.

Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This is kindness in action! When it comes to verbal communication, there are several simple messages that have a surprisingly large impact. In this activity, students will practice positive self-talk and prepare for sharing positive affirmations with others. Students can complete the activity individually within 5-10 minutes or educators can expand the activity. Ideas include: whole-group circle sharing, choosing a “student of the week” to receive affirmations from all classmates, a “secret support buddy”, note-passing movement, or other. Students apply their learning as leaders of kindness - creating real-world actions that spread kindness across their community.
