Practice gratitude

Studies show that when you take the time to regularly acknowledge the positive aspects of your life, you may feel happier and more optimistic. Use this activity to help your students practice gratitude. Be sure to remind students that nothing is too small. They can appreciate the seemingly small, everyday things they might sometimes take for granted, like their warm beds and even the sunshine outside!

Click on the number generator to randomly land on a number and have students respond to the corresponding prompt. You may choose to have students write their responses as a journal entry or have them share with the class, a group, or a partner. Revisit this activity every month, every week, or even every day!
