My Special Name: Social Emotional Activities and Printable

One of the value that the book ‘Chrysanthemum’ teaches in kindness. After reading the story, you can ask your children a series of questions to help them try think and put themselves in Chrysanthemum situation. This activity will help them develop empathy for others as well as understanding that being different is not a bad thing.

Talk about kindness

Through asking a series of questions that make your children think about Chrysanthemum’s predicament, you can help instil the value of kindness. Some questions you ask your children are:

• Why did Chrysanthemum’s friends make fun of her?

• How did that make her feel?

• if you are in the same class as Chrysanthemum, what would you have said to her?

• What can one do to help Chrysanthemum feel better?

Words can Hurt: Wrinkled Heart Activity

This activity is great to let your learn to understand that mean words can hurt someone's heart. Cut up a huge paper heart using construction paper. Read the book 'Chrysanthemum' by Kevin Henkes, make sure that it is not the first time you read the story to your children. For this activity It is best to read after you have previously discussed the book and the story line with your class and make sure that the children have understood the story.

Sit in a circle and pass the paper heart around. Every time a character said something mean to Chrysanthemum, let the children crushed their paper heart a little to represent the impact on mean words to someone's feeling. Every time her parents or someone said something kind, loving and comforting, the children have to smooth out the paper heart.

At the end of the story, compare a paper heart that was not wrinkled at all to the one that was passed around. This activity helps children understand that mean words and actions can be very hurtful and we need to be mindful of what we say so that we don't wrinkle someone's heart. You can also hang the wrinkled heart in your class to remind the children all year round to use kind words with one another.

Take Home Activity: All About My Name

Send a note home to encourage parents to talk to their children about their names; what the name means, who chose it, is there anyone else in the family with the same name, etc. I have made a printable for this that you can download and use. Let the children bring back the completed printable and share it with the class. Children love this as they can tell their own stories on how special their own names are. It is a social - emotional activity because it lets them learn more about themselves and appreciate their names more when they know some stories about it.

Name Chase Game

This game is just like ‘duck duck goose’ game. The children sit around in a circle and one child is chosen to be the chaser first.

The chaser stands up and walks around the outside of the circle tapping each child on the head and saying their name, with prompting when needed. At some point when he taps a child on the head and say the name of the group instead (e.g. class name or name the group before hand), the chosen child must get up and chase the first child around the circle to tag him before he can sit down in the empty spot. If he succeeds, the chaser has another go. If he fails, he takes over as the next chaser.
