Use a soft blue gradient background with an abstract wave pattern. Welcome students to our Healing Circle. Say: “Today we’re creating a safe space to share, listen, and grow together.”

Show a photo of children sitting in a circle on a calm rug. Explain: “A safe space means we honor each person’s feelings, keep what’s shared here private, and treat each other kindly.”

Display simple icons beside each norm (lock for confidentiality, ear for listening, stop sign for no put-downs, heart for kindness). Read each aloud and ask students to nod if they agree.

Encourage students to think of one more rule that helps everyone feel safe. Write their suggestions on chart paper and then transfer to this slide live.

After gathering ideas, guide students to vote and choose the top five norms. Update this slide with the final list for everyone to see.

Lead the class in a verbal commitment: “If you agree to follow these norms, say ‘I will.’” End with a group breath or gentle clap to seal the agreement.
