Share Your Love

To help the children concretely share their love

The children will create an opportunity to tell someone in their life that they love him or her.

• Construction-paper hearts
• Crayons and markers

• Pass out the pre-cut hearts to the group.
• Have the children write "I love you" on the hearts and the name of the person(s) to whom the heart will be given.
• Encourage the children to take the hearts home and to pass them on to people they love.
• At the next session, as a follow-up, ask the children to reflect on how it felt to give the construction-paper hearts to the people they love.

Art/Space Smart, Self Smart

Have the hearts pre-cut to save time; have extras available.

During the follow-up session, the emphasis should be on the feelings of the children, not the feelings of the people to whom they gave the hearts.
