Classroom Activity: Smiley Circle of Kindness

Objective:
Promote emotional well-being, positive communication, and social interaction while reinforcing color recognition and early literacy.

Materials Needed:

• This Is Our Happy Place Smiley Face Rug
• A set of colorful smiley face cards matching the rug’s colors
• A soft toy or bean bag

Instructions:

1. Circle of Compliments: Gather children around the rug, sitting on or near a smiley face. Start by passing the soft toy around the circle. When a child receives the toy, they give a compliment to the person on their right. This encourages kindness, positive communication, and a sense of community.

2. Color Match & Say: Distribute the colorful smiley face cards to the children. Ask them to find and sit on the matching smiley face on the rug. Once seated, they say the color out loud and share one thing that makes them happy. This helps with color recognition, emotional expression, and vocabulary development.

3. Happy Place Storytime: Sit in a circle on the rug and encourage each child to share a short story or a happy memory related to the phrase “This Is Our Happy Place.” This activity builds storytelling skills, confidence, and group bonding.

4. Smiley Hopscotch: Call out a color, and children hop to the matching smiley face. Once they land, they say the first letter of the color or a word that starts with that letter, reinforcing literacy and phonics.

This engaging activity cultivates emotional intelligence, social interaction, and early cognitive skills, all while creating a joyful and inclusive learning atmosphere.
