This can be done as a morning greeting or as a good bye exercise.
Split the students up and have them stand across from each other in two straight lines. Have them put their hands up to form a tunnel and have one student at a time walk through the ‘care wash’. As the student walks through they turn to each person and they get a compliment or appreciation from them. Get the students to think deeper than their appearance.
This is a good activity to help students learn to give compliments and think beyond physical compliments.
Suggestion: Only do a few students a day as it does take some time. Possibly do it with the special helper everyday.
