The 'Feel Happy' Scale is used to improve the social environment in a class. Several questions can be asked:

• How are you - at school today?
• How is your teacher(s) today?
• How are your friends today?
• Put yourself on a scale from 1 (at the bottom) to 6 (at the top)

Some students will have a 'low' score. Give them a minute to think about what changes are needed for them to reach a 5 or 6 on the scale.

• Are there things you can change to improve on the scale?
• Are there other people who must change?
• Are there any people in our class that must change?
• Do you want to say any more about this? If so, what?

Some times you'll get an answer.
Remember to speak about the use of proper language in the circle.
