Please take a piece of sheet of construction paper and write your name on it with a marker.
Ask your neighbor to please pin it on the back of your shirt or blouse.

13. “High Five ~ Group Activity”
Building self-esteem is an easy task when giving and receiving genuine compliments.
Use a large sheet of construction paper taped to the back of each student’s top and a marker. Each student moves around the room and writes a positive comment on each other student’s paper, drawing attention to their strengths, gifts, or talents.
Then ask each student to read what others have written about them. Open discussion should follow based on the comments shared.
