I Can Be What I Want To Be Affirmation Chant

Teach students the power of speaking positively about themselves and classmates with the song I Can by Nas. In this activity teachers will build community with students through self-affirmations.

Students will....

• Define the term affirmation
• Create self affirmations
• Perform their self affirmations rhythmically through speech
• Learn a call and response affirmation chant

This activity is most useful as an icebreaker with a new group, a morning/closing song, or just to try something new.

Have fun while affirming the greatness within each of your students!
