20 minutes
Students in pairs. Write or draw what you like about the other person on a card. Stick it on their back so they can’t see it. Students walk around the room looking at everyone’s label. Only then can the labeled person see what was said about them. How did this make you feel? How can you spread the positive feelings in your life?
