1. Begin by discussing the concept of compliments and how they can positively impact someone's self-esteem. Emphasize the joy and warmth compliments bring.

2. Engage the children in practicing authentic compliment-giving through modeling and role-playing. Encourage them to express kindness and sincerity.

3. Distribute a jar to each child for personalization. Utilize the editable name jar PDF file to add their names on the labels, making it a unique and special creation.

4. Students have two options for filling their compliment jars:

a. Color and cut out blank heart shapes provided. Write personal compliments on these hearts and exchange them with classmates to create a positive and uplifting atmosphere.

b. Alternatively, use pre-filled compliments hearts (provided in black and white or colored). Students can select and paste these compliments onto their jars.
