Let children brainstorm words that describe
friends. Write
special words on index cards and place them
in a sack. You will
need enough cards for the number of
students in your class.
Let one child at a time choose a word. Use the word as you
sing this song to the tune of “We Wish You
a Merry
Christmas.”
We
like you because you’re special word.
We
like you because you’re special word.
We
like you because you’re special word.
We
really like you!
Pin the word to the child and call them by
that word all day.
If a child isn’t behaving appropriately
ask, “Do I need to take
your word away from you?” They’ll be doing the right thing in
no time
