Global Buddies Partner Poem

One of the activities children enjoy doing is their Partner Poem with their Global Buddy. Each fills out the page and then shares it with each other via email or through a plan by their teachers. This acitivity allows them to find out more about each other. The children love discovering that they have some feelings that are similar. This activity seems to help them feel more at ease with each other as they honestly share their thoughts and feelings. (Feel free to copy this and edit it to suit your situation.)
