Purpose

To learn about the importance of encouraging others and practise encouraging and being encouraged.

We walk away knowing

I can share a dream and be encouraged. I can encourage others when they share dreams.

Instructions:

  1. Students mingle around the room while some music plays.
  2. When the music stops, they find the closest person to them and ask them one of these questions, and the other person responds by lifting them up and encouraging them to pursue their dream. You may need to scaffold this and give examples of how to encourage others positively.
