Wordmarbles is a fun and simple activity designed to encourage your children to use kind words when they speak to others!
Included in this instant PDF download are 5 fun labels which enable you to turn a bowl and a couple of Mason jars into a rewarding lesson about the power of the tongue. Simply print your labels, cut them out, stick them to your jars and you're ready to go! Helpful instructions are included.
HOW IT WORKS
Wordmarbles has four simple parts - the 'Kind Words' jar, the 'Mean Words' jar, the 'Words Bowl', and of course, marbles! Whenever you hear your child using kind or gentle words, simply tell them that they get to take a marble out of the 'Words Bowl' and place it in the 'Kind Words' jar! Conversely, whenever you hear them using harsh or unkind words, tell them to take a marble out of the 'Words' bowl and put it in the 'Mean Words' jar.
There are colored gauges for you to attach to the 'Kind Words' and 'Mean Words' jars to help you implement rewards and consequences based on how full either jar is with marbles. As the jars fill up, you can reward or correct your child as you see fit. For instance, you might tell your child that if they're able to fill their 'Kind Words' jar up by the end of the month, you'll go out for ice cream! There really is no limit to what you can do - just be creative and watch as your child begins to choose kind words over mean words when they speak.
