Group Session Example ,[object Object],[object Object],© 2009 Pamela Ullmann 1) Table: Have children sit at table and introduce theme/project. Show pictures related to friendship and see verbal and non-verbal reactions to photos. Have children create their own “friendship” collage using cut out images of people. 2) Mural: Help children trace each other’s hands onto colored construction paper. Describe how their hands will be the leaves of the friendship tree. Allow children to also use crayons and other mixed media to help fill in areas of the tree. 3) Free art time: Offer children paper dolls, markers and/ or model magic to play with back at the table; emphasizing the friendship themes and encouraging them to “work with a friend”.
