Special Person Garden
Topic: PSHE
(This idea was contributed by Jennie Bevan)
Age Range: 5 to 11

A circle time activity which is fab for a display too!

During circle time, choose a child's name out of a 'gold box' and let that person be the week's 'special person'. Before s/he can be a special person, we all must think why we like them.

The special person holds a special teddy and sits on a special beanbag. We go around the circle, each child has to say "I like _____ because ___."

Record each thought on a flower, putting the child's name in the leaf and the other children's ideas in about 6 petals. Display in a garden on the wall.

It looks great when all of your class have a flower in the garden!
