* A paper slip and pen/pencil for each child. * A group of 10 children known to one another (more the merrier) * An adult
Each child is given a paper slip and he/she writes his/her name on it and returns it back to the adult. Then the slips are jumbled and each child is given a slip with the name of a child in it. The child is expected to keep the name of the child a secret from other children. Then the child has to write 3 positive qualities about the particular child. No negative quality is to be mentioned. The paper slips are given back to the adult. The adult reads out the positive qualities of the child to the group and then hands over the paper to the child. The child can preserve this paper slip carefully and look at it when one is down to feel motivated.
* Children learn to appreciate other children’s positive points, which many find difficult. This is productive. * Each child feels great being appreciated for ones good qualities. * This activity instills positive thinking, positive self-esteem leading to positive growth.
The children rejoiced, " We all have good qualities. We have all learnt how to appreciate out friends."
