TWO SUGGESTED LESSONS:
 * 1) **Trace hands on red paper**, draw pictures of the things that make the students happy and give them "feel good" moments on the hands. Cut them out and tie a ribbon around a finger as a reminder of making that moment happen.
 * 2) **Sitting in a circle,** give each student a piece of red ribbon long enough to be tied around their neck for a necklace. Place a container of pony beads in the center of the circle or give each student their own cup of beads. Each time someone suggests something to do that is fun, healthy and makes them happy a bead is added to the ribbon.
