Hands And Feet Are For Helping by Leandra Cherry

Bullying has become an issue that has increased in the past few years. Before you do this activity talk to the students about how bullying is mean and can hurt others. Tell students that they can help stop bullying by speaking out. This activity is a pledge that students sign with their hands and feet.

1. Get a big white sheet of paper and paint " We Use Our Hands And Feet For Helping."



2. Have half of the students take off their socks and shoes and paint one foot at a time.

3. Then place their foot on the paper and then paint the other. TIP: have the paper close to where you paint the child's foot so as to not get paint everywhere. Also have baby wipes and a towel close so you can wipe the children's feet off.

4. Then write the student's name under their footprints with a marker.

5. Then paint the hands of the other half of the students. They can spread their fingers and place their hands where their thumbs are touching.

6. Then have the students wash their hands and write their names under their hand prints.

7. Let their hand and footprints dry and then hang the banner up in the classroom.
