This resource is part of the Gifted and Talented Teacher Harmony Week collection of teacher resources designed to support kindness, connection, and wellbeing in the classroom. Created as a printable teacher resource, it helps educators foster positive classroom culture while supporting meaningful learning experiences.

Bring Harmony Week to life with a meaningful craft that symbolises connection, diversity, and the power of coming together with Harmony Week: Let’s Rise Together.

This engaging activity invites students to reflect on what makes them unique and how we can create a strong, inclusive community all while creating a visually striking 3D hot air balloon display.

Each balloon is constructed from four heart templates, representing the idea that when we come together, we rise together.

Students complete and decorate four individual hearts:

• A Harmony Week colouring heart
• Some of the ways I am unique
• Harmony means…
• What helps us rise together: 3 cloud prompts

The hearts are then folded and layered to create a three-dimensional hot air balloon, before being mounted onto an A4 page. The finished pieces combine to form a powerful whole-class display that celebrates individuality, belonging, and unity.

This teacher resource includes:

• 4 heart templates with guided prompts
• Instructions for constructing the 3D hot air balloon
• Lettering tiles: Let’s Rise Together: Harmony Week
• Print-and-go format for easy classroom use

Accompanied by lettering tiles spelling “Let’s Rise Together: Harmony Week”, this resource makes it easy to create a cohesive, high-impact display that elevates your classroom, hallway, or shared space.

Why teachers love this resource:

• Combines creativity with meaningful reflection
