Exploring Behaviour: A Fun Start to Our Psychology Lesson

Introduction - What is Behaviour?

Hello, Year 3! Today, we are going to dive into the fascinating world of psychology, which is the study of the mind and behaviour. Have you ever wondered why people or animals act in certain ways? That’s what we’ll explore!

The Behaviour Detective Game!

To kick off our lesson, we’re going to play a fun game called "Behaviour Detective!" Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Collect Observations

  1. Look Around: Take a moment to look around the classroom. What do you see your classmates doing? Are they raising their hands, chatting, or working quietly?

  2. Take Notes: Grab a piece of paper and jot down at least three different behaviours you notice. Remember, behaviours can be big or small!

Step 2: Share Your Findings

Once you have your observations, I’d like you to pair up with a partner and share what you wrote down. Discuss these questions together:

Step 3: Our Behaviour Chart

After sharing, we’ll create a Behaviour Chart on the whiteboard. I’ll ask some of you to share your observations, and together we’ll list the behaviours we noticed.

Step 4: Connect the Dots

Finally, we’ll talk about why understanding behaviours is important. By being behaviour detectives, we can learn more about ourselves and our classmates!

Conclusion

Are you ready to become a Behaviour Detective? Let’s unlock the secrets of our actions and thoughts together!
