Spread a Little Sunshine! Sunny Action Planner
OBJECTIVE: Youth can select other youth at school or church or community to reach out to. With this planner, they can write on each sun-ray how they plan to spread a little sunshine. Then tear off the assignment tab once completed. They can write on the back of the tab about their feelings and experiences.
TO MAKE print activity in color or black and white. Cut a slit in between each sun ray so you have eight flaps.
THOUGHT TREAT: Sunny Delight Drink. As youth enjoy orange juice or lemonade, ask them to think of someone for whom they will spread a little sunshine. If you serve orange juice, you could say, “’Orange’ you glad you can ‘squeeze’ in some time to spread a little sunshine?” If you serve lemonade, you could say, “We can always give lemon-aid to those who receive lemons.
