Students work in cooperative groups of 3-4 or in pairs. Cut out pictures and glue onto poster board. A variation would be to give groups of students a circle that is going to be the center of the flower. Write the word Friends in the middle. Glue the petals around the center of the flower.
Students sing and read lyrics from song.
Then students share posters they made on day three with other students in their class. Initiate a discussion on violence, especially hitting and whether or not this is an effective way to solve problems. Stress that while hands should not be used to hurt others, that there are many positive things that we can do with out hands. Give each child a large sheet of paper. The student will fill in the blank.
