This was a game played by 1st-5th Grade students here at C-S. The objective of the game is for students to give a helping hand to one another. There are 2-3 taggers that run around with noodles trying to tag everyone. Once tagged you sit and have to wait for two classmates to help you get back into the game. Tagged students may reenter the game by being connected by two students with helping hands. Once you have two "helping hands" the helpers get you to your feet and all three students walk to the "Wellness Center" were they have to ALL do 20-30 jumping jacks and write why helping others in life is important on the clipboards. Students literally gave a helping hand to other classmates during this game. This is a great game that helps build a positive atmosphere within a dynamic setting such as physical education. My message to the students was that "I believe that if we all can work together, be a little more kind, and helpful to one another, that we as a group and as a school will be more successful in all areas". My hope was to have this lesson transfer to other areas in our building and to other areas in our students lives. Students are helping clean up after themselves and each other at lunch, making better decisions in the classroom, and being more kind on the playground! Please use this message outside of school with these simple questions: Was that a kind thing to do? How could you have done that in a more kind way? What could you do to be more helpful? Kids love to be helpful and kind they need adults to guide them and help them be successful. Parents try this approach when getting your son/ daughter to clean up their rooms? See if it helps or make a difference. "It would be helpful to us (me, the family, your mom/ dad) if you could pick up your room. Use this approach with any house chore! Mr. Frisbie
