Hidden Helpers

To build classroom community and celebrate holiday cheer in your classroom, implement Hidden Helpers! Each student is assigned a secret pal. They do something nice for their secret pal each week without letting their pal know who his or her hidden helper is. (Rules: No material gifts) Children can provide a helpful hand, compliment or do a favor for their pal.
