Beginning a Personal Development Lesson: Setting Up Tuff Tray Activities

Introduction

Hello, Year 1! Today, we’re going to have some fun exploring the world of tuff tray activities and how they can help us learn important personal development skills like teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. Let’s dive in!

Warm-Up Activity: The Giant Rainbow

Materials Needed:

• A large tuff tray
• Coloured sand or rice
• Toys (e.g., animals, blocks, or figures)
• A few containers for sorting

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Gather Around: Everyone, come and sit in a circle around the tuff tray. Take a moment to look at the beautiful colours of the sand or rice we have inside!

2. Rainbow Magic: Let’s start our lesson by pretending we are magical creatures. Each colour in the tuff tray represents a different magical land!

   • Red Land: Where we are brave and take challenges.
   • Blue Land: Where we talk about our feelings.
   • Green Land: Where we show kindness.
   • Yellow Land: Where we can be creative.

3. Sharing Time: I’ll ask a few questions, and you can share your thoughts:

   • "What do you think it means to be brave?"
   • "Can you think of a time when you used kindness?"

4. Team Activity: Now, let’s get our hands busy! I need helpers to sort the toys into the right colour sections in our tuff tray. Each one of you can help put toys that show bravery in the Red Land, kindness in the Green Land, and so on. Work together, and remember to share your ideas on where each toy belongs!

5. Reflection: Once we finish sorting, we will sit back down and look at our tuff tray together. What does it tell us about personal development? How does working together help us learn?

Conclusion

This fun and hands-on activity sets the stage for our lesson on personal development. As you explore the tuff tray, you are also discovering important skills that will help you grow, learn, and work with others. Let’s remember to keep sharing and helping each other, just like we did today!

Now, are you ready to create your own tuff tray activity? Let's get started!
