One afternoon, we playing a game about kindness that included the use of a ball and yarn. The idea was to begin a conversation about kindness and discuss what it meant to each child. I then introduced the word "compliment" and explained its meaning to the group. During the game, each child gave another child a compliment and then threw the ball of yarn to them, while the next child did the same. We tried to have them focus on personality traits and behaviors, not physical attributes. In the picture below, you will see the end product of our "compliment web!"
