Really Good Stuff® Building Relationships Gumball Activity

Ages 4+ / Grades PreK+

This Building Relationships Gumball Activity is a fun way to introduce students to ways to build positive relationships within the classroom. The double-sided magnet-receptive board features a fun gumball machine image on the front, and a place to store all the pieces on the back. Use this helpful tool to assist your classroom in becoming a family or community by building relationships, one gumball at a time. The flexibility built in the product allows you to choose lengths of times, as well as the amount of focus skills that you wish for your class to work on and hopefully master.

• WHAT YOU GET: The magnet-receptive board measures 17” x 22” and comes with two pre-drilled holes for easy hanging. The magnetic gumballs measure 2.7” each and the magnetic labels for the gumball machine measure 9.77” x 1.45”. There are a total of 30 magnetic pieces; 27 gumballs and 3 labels.
• BUILD RELATIONSHIPS: A great way to build relationships in the classroom is to work on soft skills like sharing, being kind, asking questions, and more. Feel free to use whichever gumballs your class might need to focus on.
• OFFER LENGTHS OF FOCUS: Choose to focus on skills for the day, week, or month. When you first introduce this to your students, you may choose to pick one skill to focus on each day, then slowly move to adding several focus tasks at a time, for a longer length of time.
• CAN BE USED IN SEVERAL WAYS: You can decide the number of skills you want to work on at a time. You can decide to add gumballs one at a time, or group several at a time. You can also choose to keep gumballs front and center for skills students need to keep working on.
• FROM THE MR. HINES’ CLASSROOM COLLECTION: Mr. Hines’ Classroom brings this magnetic activity to you to help you build meaningful relationships within your school and classroom. Relationships matter and this is a great way to help build strong relationships in the classroom.
