Week 8

Week 8 opens with Rock, Paper, Scissors, a fast, friendly warm-up that spotlights turn-taking, clear rules, and graceful winning/losing. Students pair up, chant together, and celebrate quick results; whole-body versions and large cards keep it accessible, while rotating partners builds new peer connections. You’ll then shift into Kindness Starts with Me, where learners choose one kind act for today and record how it might make someone else feel (and how it makes them feel, too). Expect simple, heartfelt sharing via drawing, words, pointing, or AAC, and an easy class “Kindness Wall” to keep prosocial habits visible.

Balloon Keep-Up is a joyful teamwork challenge that grows counting, coordination, and persistence. Add extra balloons for shared problem-solving and adjust the height/speed so everyone can participate. You’ll close with 5 Senses of Gratitude, a calm, creative reflection where students trace a hand, add one loved thing for each sense, and share a favourite moment in the palm, perfect for building sensory language and everyday gratitude. Educators can expect minimal setup (paper, pencils, balloons, optional cards), flexible seated/standing play, and embedded wheelchair-friendly options throughout. Look for growth in fair play and resilience, kindness, language and intent, cooperative movement and encouragement, and rich, sensory-based gratitude, setting a warm finish to the week.
