Shout-out

K–12 · Any subject · Build social-emotional skills

What students see

Give a shout-out to someone in our class. Say what they did and how it helped you or the group. Be specific so they know exactly what you noticed.

Why it works

Specific praise builds relationship skills for both people: one learns to notice what others do, and the other hears what they did well. Reviewing posts first keeps the focus on kindness.

How to run it

  1. Add it to your Space. The Topic comes with this prompt and these settings, and you can edit both.
  2. Share the Topic link with your students.
  3. Approve posts as they come in. Until then only the person who posted and Space admins can see them.

Make it yours

Make sure every student receives a shout-out by assigning names in turn. Staff can use the same prompt to thank a colleague.
