Activity by Greater Good in Education - Flipping Complaints Into Gratitude. Students practice turning complaints into gratitude statements, and learn they have a choice to replace negative thoughts with more positive and optimistic ones.

Distance Learning Adaptation Ideas

For the partner activity, use virtual meeting breakout rooms; then have students return to the main virtual meeting for volunteers to share their complaints and reframed gratitude statements.
