Here’s what you’ll need for tonight’s meeting:

Some scrap paper and a pen for taking notes on your ideas.

Here’s an article to get you thinking:  https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/women-chief-medical-officers-canada-1.5518974    

Let’s send some kind and encouraging words out into the people in our world. Why not surprise someone in your community with a positive, empowering message… on a rock! or a window sign! or get out your sidewalk chalk and send a message to your neighbourhood!

Hearing positive messages can boost your self-acceptance and confidence, so spreading them around is a great way to lift up the people you care about. The Kindness Rocks Project was started to surprise people with random acts of kindness. 

Homework this week: Inspire and share positive messages with others through decorating your own rock, sign, window sign, sidewalk, post-it note…whatever! Leave it in a visible place and take a photo to share with the group. Email your photos to the leaders by April 14.

Tonight is all about exploring identities – YOUR IDENTITY! You’ll reflect on who you are and how who you are can change depending on your age or situation. We’ll do a few group activities over zoom and we’ll also talk about ways we can share encouraging messages to our friends and neighbours in these difficult times. 

What you’ll need tonight:

1. Some scrap paper

2. Markers, crayons, or pencil crayons

Activities we’ll do tonight:

1. Check In 

2. “Sides of me” activity from Girls First Platform

3. “Past, Present, Future Self” activity from Girls First Platform

4. “Kindness Rocks” activity from Girls First Platform

To get inspired to share kindness with your neighbourhood, take a look at this article:
