Helper of the Day
- Skill focus: responsibility, empathy, initiating help
- Time: ongoing (integrated into daily routine)
- Materials: “Helper of the Day” badge, sticker, or small sign
Setup:
- Introduce the role: each day one student is chosen as the Helper of the Day.
- Give them a visual marker like a badge, sticker, or lanyard so others know who has the role.
- Explain their mission: Find at least one way to help a peer during the day.
How to Play:
- Assign or rotate a new Helper of the Day each morning.
- That student looks for chances to help: sharing supplies, holding the door, inviting someone to play, or helping clean up.
- At the end of the day (or during closing circle), the helper shares:Who they helpedWhat they didWhy it mattered
- Class gives a round of applause or cheer to celebrate their effort.
Discussion / Reflection:
- How did it feel to be the Helper of the Day?
- What was the most meaningful way you helped?
- Why is it important to notice when someone might need help, even if they don’t ask?
- How can we all be “everyday helpers,” even without the badge?
