Fun with Character: Helping Hands

Have the students trace their hand on colored paper. For younger children, you can call them helping hands and have them write or draw a picture on the palm of what they can do to be more responsible around the house with chores. For older children, call them the High Five and have them write 5 things, one on each finger/thumb that they can do to be more responsible in the classroom or at home.

To process this activity, ask these questions:

• Was it fun to use your hand print to write or draw on?

• Was it hard to come up with something to put on it or did you think of more than you needed?

• Who benefits when you remember to do these things?

• Who is hurt when you forget to do these things?

• Where will you put this to use as a reminder to be a Helping Hand?
