This program for primary/elementary school age students encourages kids to become the best version of themselves. Terrific Kids provides teachers and facilitators with a tool to redirect negative student behavior while empowering and motivating kids.
Kids determine what being terrific means to them, then students work with their teacher and a âgoal buddyâ to develop their own goals. They use peer mentoring to come up with actions they can take and hold themselves accountable for the actions each week to achieve success. When participants achieve their goals, they are recognized as Terrific Kids.
Students without behavior issues can still participate in Terrific Kids by working on skills they wish to improve and by being goal buddies. When participants achieve their goal, the entire class celebrates and recognizes their achievement.
The Terrific Kids sponsor handles the cost of the celebration (i.e. pizza party, certificates). The sponsor is often a local Kiwanis club alongside local businesses. Kiwanis is an international volunteer organization whose mission is to serve the children of the world. Contact us to be a sponsor or learn more.
The program works because kids concentrate on themselves rather than competing with other students, decide what behavior they want to change, learn how to set and achieve goals, gain confidence from peer mentoring, become accountable and learn to problem-solve.
