Both schools and emotions

We divide the children into 2 (equal) groups.

We give each child an inflated balloon.

One group will play children attending a school dominated by love, acceptance, respect and kindness. We ask the children in the group how they feel in this school environment. The other group will play children attending a school dominated by racism, disrespect and bullying. We ask the children of the group how they feel in this environment.

We give markers to the children and ask them to write on their balloon an emotion they feel in the school environment they attend (goal: the children of the first group to write positive emotions and the second group to write negative).

We briefly discuss the conclusions drawn by children about the effect of bullying and the negative climate in the school environment in general on the psychosynthesis of the individual.

We ask the children of the groups to join the rows opposite each other. Each child in the first group gives his balloon with the positive emotion to the child in the second group standing in front of him (as a symbolic gesture), shouting out loud the emotion written on his balloon. The child of the second group, as soon as he receives the balloon in his hand, shouts loudly the negative emotion written on his own balloon and throws it away.

We put the song "Mobile School is here for you" (https://youtu.be/gQSC6XOcSYE), created by our team with the aim of this song to be a common reference point of all Mobile Schools in the world, to play loudly on the speaker , we ask the children to pop the balloons with the negative emotions and we all dance together.
