We challenge other schools to take on the friendCHIPS challenge.
Say 10 positive things in 10 days.
Watch our video:
There are lots of ways to be positive to other people - how many can you think of? e.g.
- giving compliments,
- thanking them ( e.g. for being caring, helping, including, positive, smiling),
- being appreciative of something you are doing together ("I really enjoyed playing with you.")
- Tell us some of the positive things you said to people.
- Tell us how you felt when someone said something positive to you.
Create a Say Something Positive Wall
We have a whole wall where we thank other people for being caring, helping, including, positive or smiling. You could have one too!
Some examples:
"Thank you Emily. When I had no one to play with you included me."
"To Alex, you helped me draw a horse and made me laugh, thankyou!"
Create a Say something positive circle
Thanks to the Dover Grade 3 class for this suggestion.
- Sit in a circle so you are not next to special friends.
- One person starts. Turn to the person to your left and say something positive. Thank them for doing something that is Caring, Helping, Including, Positive or Smiling.
- The person who has been thanked then turns to the person on their left and says something positive.
- Continue moving clockwise around the circle and spread positiveness!
- If you want to do it again, try going anti-clockwise.
