Service Description

Wellbeing & SEL Outcomes Supports empathy, emotional connection, and mutual support aligning with the Interpersonal and Social Capabilities of the Australian Curriculum. Why Educators Love It Turns abstract concepts like compassion into hands-on, heartfelt experiences that leave a lasting impact. Celebrate kindness, connection, and what it means to be a true friend.
Spirit Mushkin gently guides children through the world of positive relationships, helping them understand how to show up for others, listen with empathy, and build meaningful friendships. Through interactive games and imaginative activities, children explore what connection feels like and how to recognise, repair, and nurture it. This playful yet powerful session brings social-emotional skills to life with movement, creativity, and conversation. Ideal for deepening class connection and growing a culture of compassion. What We Explore 🌿 For Early Years: Mix and create a Friendship Potion using symbolic ingredients like Listening Leaves, Kindness Sparkles, and Hug Drops (optional, but always magical!) 🎨 For Primary: Design and build Friendship Sculptures to represent the values and qualities that make strong, lasting friendships. 💃 Dance and move in pairs to explore non-verbal communication, cooperation, and respectful boundaries. 🎯 Play a “Friendship True or False” game to challenge common social myths (e.g. “You have to be friends with everyone”). 💌 Practise giving and receiving compliments in a playful, low-pressure way. 📖 Explore what empathy looks like in real-life situations through storytelling and role-play. 🪞 Reflect on what makes them a good friend and how they like to be supported.
