| Activity/strategy name and materials required | How to do the activity | Key principles for doing the activity and comments |
|---|---|---|
| Brainstorm | Ask the children "what is a compliment? What should you do if someone gives you a compliment?" | You could also talk about "what is criticism?" and "is criticism always bad?" |
| Act it out 'Teen-age' rag dolls | The children could act out giving and receiving criticism. | |
| Give a compliment Cards with names of everyone in the group (including adults) | Take out the name of the person you're offering the cards to, so they can't choose themself. | |
| Compliments Chart Giving and receiving compliments as part of a language group. This is a good way to boost children's self esteem. Materials: Compliment prompt cards, with or without visual support, as appropriate. Compliments chart, with each child's name on the left side, with a space on the right side for the chosen compliment to be stuck. For example:
Blu-tac to stick the compliment cards on to the chart, and the chart on to the wall. | You will need to explain what a compliment is - a positive comment about another person that makes them feel good. It needs to be genuine! You can keep a note of the compliments each child is given over all the sessions of the group. They can get a certificate / note at the end with all their compliments on for them to keep. You can use this with younger children if you help them to think about what a compliment is. If they find it difficult you can make it easier by asking them to 'say something nice' to the person next to them. | |
