The activity is widely applicable and can be easily adapted to different lessons.

Classroom applications:

• Visual culture: giving brief, specific praise for each other’s drawings and making subtle suggestions.
• Language and literature: evaluating compositions, stories, or reading of short texts with a few positive comments and a suggestion for improvement.
• Techniques and design: quick feedback on finished projects (what went well, what could be improved).
• Environmental science: giving simple, supportive feedback after group posters or presentations.
• Math: brief evaluation of solutions (“it was a good idea to try it this way,” “you could try something else”).

Extracurricular/social applications

• In class community-building situations where the goal is to strengthen a positive atmosphere. For example: sitting in a circle, each child praises the person sitting next to them for a small thing (“I liked that you helped your classmate today”).
• At the end of project work, to acknowledge each other’s contributions. For example: groups briefly highlight one strength each (“You helped a lot with your ideas”).
• In short daily routines, such as morning or evening circles. At the end of the day, one child praises a classmate in one sentence for something they noticed that day.
• Any other school or community achievement.
