These cheer cards can be used to focus children’s attention and put a smile on their faces. Every child in your classroom can feel good with these cheers.
Why? attention grabbers, positive self-esteem, classroom family
When? Large group, small group, all day long
How? Copy the cheer cards below on heavy paper. Cut apart. Introduce one new cheer each day. Use the cheer throughout the day. At the end of the day take a Cheerios box or a Cheer detergent box and say, “We’ve learned a new cheer. Let’s save it in our “cheer box.”
Hint! You can also tape these cheers to a bulletin, classroom door, or the front of your desk.
*When you want to encourage a child, have her reach into the “cheer box” and lead the class in that cheer.
I have two different sets of cheer cards so you can choose the one that you like best.
