Picture
Our names are important to us. We feel connected when we share our name with others. We are kind and respectful when we learn other people's names.
  • Let’s take three, deep, peaceful breaths together.
    • We are going to share our names by humming them. (Demonstrate by saying your name and drawing it out in a long humming sound.)
    • When we hum, we hear it and we feel it. Place your fingers on the front of your throat and hum with me.(Practice with the children.)
    • Now place your hands over your ears and hum. Can you feel it?
    • We will hum each one’s name together. As we do, we will share our connection and friendship with that person.
    • Follow along with me and we will hum each name together until we have hummed everyone’s name. (Hum each name.)
    • Close with one more peaceful breath
  • Sharing:
    • What did it feel like to hum names?
    • How did it feel to hear your name hummed?
  • This week:
    • Focus on sharing peace with others by saying their name with kindness and respect.
