What Is it All About?
Students create a bulletin board on which they can place images, words, photos, poems, and other items that make them smile when they see them.
Why Do It?
Visualizing or looking at images of things that bring you joy can help you maintain or regain a more positive mind.
How Do We Do It?
Students create a personal "bulletin board" on which they place images, words, photos, poems, and other items that make them smile and feel happy when they see them. They can use poster paper, poster board, or other large piece of paper.
Students contribute to their board over time.
Ask a few volunteers share their Happy Mood Boards. Have them share what they have chosen to display, and how they use the board, with the class as inspiration to others.

Create a class hashtag to tag uplifting photos in social media.
