You need

  • Family or a group of friends
  • A soft ball

Let's play

  1. Sit in a circle.
  2. Roll the ball to someone and say something kind about them.
  3. They say "thank you" and roll it to someone new.
  4. Make sure everyone gets a turn!
Grown-up tip: Model specific compliments: "You helped me carry the bags" is better than "You’re nice".
