If you are a teacher and would like to introduce this idea in the classroom, here is a way to do it.
You will need two short sessions.
Before you begin, you will need to have your own Gratitude Rock. If you don’t believe in it, you won’t be able to convince anyone.
The first session is to introduce the Gratitude Rock. Explain fully the concept as per written above. You may wish to use this manual if you’d like. Two concepts you must stress are the concept of Gratitude and why it is important in our society. Second is the system of reminder. Why we need a rock.
You may have a class discussion on the subject of Gratitude.
At the end of the first session, distribute this paper and tell the class to find their own little rock.
My name is _____________ and this is my gratitude rock. I have designated this rock to remind myself sense of gratitude because_________________________________
_____________________________________________________(Not more than 100 words)
Second session: a week later
One by one have everyone in the class stand up and show their designated gratitude rock and read out load what he or she has written. This will reinforce the concept. If they forget to bring their gratitude rock, what ever you do, do not scold them. Last thing you want is to associate the gratitude rock with negative feelings.
That’s it. Just two sessions to discuss “Gratitude”.
It’ll be worth it.
