Let children brainstorm words that describefriends. Write
special words on index cards and place themin a sack. You will
need enough cards for the number ofstudents 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 Youa Merry
Christmas.”
Welike you because you’re special word.
Welike you because you’re special word.
Welike you because you’re special word.
Wereally like you!
Pin the word to the child and call them bythat word all day.
If a child isn’t behaving appropriatelyask, “Do I need to take
your word away from you?” They’ll be doing the right thing in
no time
