Have students draw a picture showing how they felt during a time when things didn’t go the way they wanted. Let each student tell about his/her picture. 2. Discuss ways to help others that might cause them to have a better day. Could helping someone else have a better day also help you have a better day? How? Draw a picture showing a way that you can help someone. 3. Have students close their eyes and think about the kind of day they are having today. Open eyes and draw a picture about how they saw themselves. • How many of you drew a picture showing yourself with a smile? Why were you smiling? • How many of you drew a picture showing yourself looking sad? Why were you looking sad? • If you’re not having a “good” day, is there something you can do to help the day become better? 4. We all have things we can’t do as well as we’d like. Have students think of one thing that they can’t do well or can’t do at all, but want to learn to do (Ride a bike, write their name better, catch a ball, etc.). On a sheet of paper, have each student draw a picture showing himself/herself doing the thing he/she wants to learn to do. Discuss what is going to help him/her learn to do this. (Practice, positive thinking, encouragement of others). Activities Produced and Distributed by www.ncyi.org 1-800-477-8277
