1. Explain to your learners that it’s important, especially in difficult times, to

remember who they can count on and trust.

2. Ask learners to trace around their hands on either paper (bond or

construction paper) or recycled cardboard. Then ask them to cut this out.

this. I HAVE the capacity to regulate my emotions and find solutions to
challenges. (Self-Regulation, Problem Solving)

3. Ask them to make at least 2-3 sets of hands, or a total of at least 6 hand cut-
outs.

4. Then ask them to draw (or create a symbol representing the person) the
person and write the name of the persons they trust the most. One name per
hand. If learners are unable to find someone they trust in their home,
encourage them to look around the classroom in case they would like to write
the names of their classmates or teachers.
 5. If they are using paper, they can use tape to bind the popsicle stick or twig to
their hand.
