Teacher tip
Let kids who do not want to share their weekend draw something they wish they had done.
How to use it
- Sit in a circle so everyone can see each other’s faces.
- Keep it short: 15 to 20 minutes works for most classes.
- Fill one in with the class the first time so kids see what a finished one looks like.
Watch for
Kids who do not want to share. Let them pass and come back later.
Talk about it
- What did you learn about a classmate today?
- How can this help you be ready to learn?
Take it further
Let kids take turns leading parts of the meeting.
