How it works

1
Name the notes.

Before registration, write a different classmate’s name at the top of each printable note. Check every name is used exactly once.

2
Everyone writes one compliment.

Hand out the named notes. Each student writes something true and kind for that person, no name at the bottom, so it stays anonymous.

3
Collect and redistribute.

Gather the finished notes before the end of registration, then hand each student their own note the next morning.

This one needs a few minutes of setup, because every note has to have a name on it before you hand it out. It works as a one-off or a termly ritual, and it’s worth keeping a couple of spare notes for anyone away.
