WHAT YOU NEED: To set up your own Compliment Box, all you need is a small box (I used a cardboard box and painted it) and some Compliment Cards printed on ASTROBRIGHTS paper.
WHEN IT’S DONE: Students can leave compliments for each other if they finish a task early, at the beginning of recess, or right after school.
HOW IT’S DONE: Students (or teachers) take a Compliment Card and fill it in. Some students leave their names and others are anonymous. During closing time each day, pull two or three Compliment Cards and read them aloud. After reading, give the card to the student being complimented, so they can take it home and share it with their family.
Having a Compliment Box in your staff lounge is a great way to promote community and kindness among the staff at your school site, too!

I love this idea! Do you keep track of who is getting compliments and who is not?
sounds excellent to encourage each other. I will use it this
year
How did you deal with the students who didn't receive a compliment? Do you find that friends would only compliment friends?
woah .. such an incredible idea. I am homeschool teacher and have only one student. I think this idea might be great to give her compliment either verbally or in wrting each day . i will start doing this semester. wish me luck
