5 Galentine’s Day Assembly Activities That Build Confidence and Belonging

Heart-centered ideas for schools, clubs, and girl groups

Let’s be honest—February can stir up all kinds of feelings for students. While Valentine’s Day often centers around candy and couples, Galentine’s Day is your chance to flip the focus toward something more meaningful: friendship, self-love, and community.

If you're planning a school assembly, girls' group event, or classroom activity, Galentine’s Day is the perfect moment to create a space where girls feel seen, celebrated, and connected. These 5 engaging assembly activities will help your students build confidence and a sense of belonging—while having fun, of course!

Key Takeaways

• Galentine’s Day is a powerful chance to build confidence, connection, and belonging

• Assembly activities can be both fun and emotionally meaningful

• Small moments—like a compliment or an affirmation—can have a big impact

• Empowering girls starts with creating space for them to feel seen and celebrated

1. Power Words Wall

Start your assembly with a visual confidence boost. Set up a large display (bulletin board, banner, or slide deck) where girls can write or share empowering words they’d use to describe themselves or each other.

Examples:

• Brave

• Loyal

• Creative

• Resilient

• Kind

You can collect responses ahead of time or invite girls to come up during the assembly and add their word. Watching the wall grow in real time builds collective energy and shows every girl that her voice matters.

2. “Pass the Compliment” Challenge

This crowd favorite gets everyone smiling and connected fast. Here’s how it works:

• One person starts by giving a heartfelt compliment to someone else in the group.

• That person then stands and gives a compliment to someone new.

• Keep going until everyone has received and shared one.

Want to scale this for a large group? Use microphones, breakout stations, or write compliments on heart-shaped sticky notes that students can exchange.

This activity builds confidence, kindness, and real-time connection—especially powerful in group settings where not everyone knows each other well.

3. “I Am” Affirmation Chant

This one’s bold, uplifting, and easy to lead. As a group, have girls repeat a chant out loud using affirmations like:

• I am strong

• I am kind

• I am fearless

• I am enough

You can print these on a big screen or lead with call-and-response style. Invite student leaders to take turns leading the chant for extra empowerment. This shared moment of positivity creates emotional unity and reminds every girl of her worth.

4. Story Spotlight: “Friendship Wins”

Feature real stories from girls in your school about friendship, bravery, or standing up for others. These can be read aloud anonymously, shared via video clips, or performed live by student leaders.

Hearing stories from their peers helps girls feel less alone and more understood. It also opens the door for authentic conversations about belonging, kindness, and courage.

Bonus: Wrap up with a reflection question like, “What does being a good friend mean to you?” and give girls a moment to journal or share with a partner.

5. Compliment Cards & Kindness Confetti

Wrap up your assembly with a simple, heartfelt exchange. Pass out blank Galentine's-themed cards (paper or printable) and ask each girl to write a kind message to someone else in the room.

They can deliver them privately after the event or stick them on a “Kindness Confetti Wall” to be read later.

Prompt ideas:

• “One thing I admire about you is…”

• “You made me smile when…”

• “I love how you always…”

Even one kind message can make someone’s day—and shows that being fearless also means being kind.
