"Good morning, everyone! Today we are going to talk about a really important topic: 'Me with Other People.' Can anyone tell me what that means to you? [Pause for responses] That's right! It’s all about how we interact and connect with others around us. How many of you like spending time with friends or family? [Look for hands raised] Exactly! Interacting with others helps us learn and grow.
[If available, use visuals on the projector to show images of people interacting in different scenarios: playing, talking, helping each other.] Let’s think about how we express ourselves and our feelings when we're with others.
Now, let's dive into our feelings and see how they relate to our interactions."
"To help us understand how we feel and how those feelings affect our interactions, I have this feelings chart here. [Hold up the feelings chart or project it if available.] Can anyone help me read any of these feelings? [Encourage responses]
Great job! I see words like happy, sad, angry, and excited. Let's discuss these feelings. Can anyone share a time when they felt one of these emotions while playing with friends? [Encourage sharing and discussion. Use prompts to engage students, such as 'How did that make you feel?' or 'What did you do?']
Understanding our feelings is important because it helps us communicate better with others. Alright, now let’s put this understanding into action!"
"Now I need you all to turn to your classmates because we are going to do a fun group activity! I’m going to divide you into small groups of about 4 to 5 students.
In your groups, you will create a poster. Your poster should show how we can express our feelings positively when we’re with other people. You can use words, drawings, or any ideas you come up with together.
You’ll have 30 minutes to create your posters, and I’ll be walking around to help you with any ideas or materials you need. Let’s get started!"
[As students work in groups, circulate around the classroom.]
"Remember to work together and share your ideas! You can use the art supplies on your tables, so feel free to be creative with your posters.
If you have any questions, just raise your hand! I’m here to help you, so don't hesitate to ask. Let's see some amazing teamwork!"
"Time is up, everyone! Now I want each group to display their posters around the classroom. I encourage you to walk around and take a look at everyone’s amazing work.
As you walk, try to think about what each group is trying to say about expressing feelings. You don’t need to present formally, just enjoy looking and discussing with your friends!"
"Let’s gather back on the carpet so we can share our thoughts. Who would like to share what they learned from creating the posters? [Encourage responses, guiding the discussion to ensure everyone can share.]
It’s important to express our feelings, and today we’ve learned that there are many ways to do it. How do you think expressing our feelings helps us in our relationships with others? [Facilitate a discussion around this question.]
All your thoughts and ideas are wonderful, and talking about our feelings can make a big difference!"
"Before we finish up for today, I want to tell you about your homework. I’d like you to write or draw about a time when you felt really happy or sad with someone.
Think about who you were with and what happened. Next class, you will share your work in small groups, just like we did today! Remember to think about your feelings and how we can express them.
Alright class, thank you for listening and participating today! I can’t wait to see your homework!"
How do you think spending time with friends and family affects our emotions? Can you share an example from your own experience?
What are some positive ways we can show our feelings to others? Can you think of a time when you used one of these methods?
Why do you think it’s important to understand our feelings when interacting with others? How can this understanding help us make friends?
In your opinion, what is the best way to express a feeling like being sad or angry to your classmates? How might it help your relationships?
If you were creating a poster to illustrate a specific feeling, what images or words would you include? Why are those choices meaningful to you?
