Invite a classmate into a game you are already playing, or sit with them at lunch.
First graders in Olpe showed up together for a classmate on adoption day. Saving a seat at lunch, or inviting someone into a game, tells a classmate they belong.
Three easy ways
At home
Teach a sibling or cousin a game you like, and let them go first.
In the neighborhood
On an outing with a grown-up you live with, let another child in your own group take a turn first. Stay with your grown-up.
Printable tracker
Check a box each day you try the challenge. A class can write its total in the tally box.
