The Rainbow Fish - The giving and receiving of friendship

After watching the puppet show "The Rainbow Fish" by Marcus Pfister, conversations about friendship arose. The children noticed that, at the beginning, the rainbow fish didn't want to share, but, after a while, he tried sharing and he found that it made him happy. Not only were his friends now happy, but their happiness also made the rainbow fish happy.

We ended group time by making our own fish out of small pieces of ripped paper and by sharing our knowledge and understanding of what sharing with others feels like.
