Enjoying last week's xSELeratED post on Gratitude Boxes and looking for more ideas? Heather is on it!
Continue to celebrate the spirit of season with these additional resources to share gratitude. Let us know if you try any of these, or share one of your own with all Worthy Educator members!
Gratitude Ping Pong
All you need is a ping pong (or even a bouncy ball) to play gratitude ping pong. It’s fun and energizing - throw/bounce it and each time you catch it, you share something that you are grateful for. Try to get a rhythm going, and share as many unique things each of you are thankful for as possible. Here’s a quick video of the amazing Sara Corckran and Erin Baldecchi modeling the activity for teams too!
Gratitude Letter
The beauty of gratitude is that it benefits both you and the person you are grateful for. We can choose to be the light of positivity that people need right now, and it starts in our own lives. Reach out on a daily basis by sending a gratitude – use e-cards, texts, quotes, or actual greeting cards/letters – to tell those who have a positive impact in your lives how much they matter to you. It will fill your heart as well as theirs.
Joy Drop
Happy YOUniversity has a Joy Drop activity that is memorable and powerful. It is about inspiring kindness in your community and how JOY begins with you. Start by spreading a drop of JOY to an unsuspecting person and inspire them to pass it on by leaving a “Joy Drop card”. Here’s a sample at the top of this post so you can print some or get creative and make your own - personalizing with your unique message. Then watch how a single act of kindness can turn into a waterfall of kindness and connection in your community.
Here's to more joy in life!
