Hands Around the Room

Cut several long strips on white shelf/butchers paper about 8" wide. Lay the paper on the floor or table. Pour different colors of tempera paint into a shallow container such as a pie pan. Set the paint near the paper. Have the children make pairs of hand prints along the strips, leaving space between the pairs to write each child's name. After the paints have dried, ask each child how they are nice to others and what they do to help others. Write each child's thoughts under their name. Hang the "Hands Around The Room" near the ceiling, at eye level or along the baseboard. When you take it down, cut each pair apart and let the children take them home.
