Lesson Begin: Cultivating Resilience

Hook: The Resilience Challenge

Welcome, everyone! Today, we are going to dive into the important topic of Resilience. To kick things off, I want you to participate in a quick activity that sets the stage for our lesson.

The Resilience Challenge

1. Split into Small Groups: Form groups of three to four students.
2. Brainstorm Resilience: In your groups, take 5 minutes to think about a time when you faced a challenge or obstacle. Discuss together what you did to overcome it, what emotions you felt, and what you learned from the experience.
3. Identify Resilient Traits: After discussing, identify three key traits or strategies that helped you or someone you know bounce back from difficulties.

Share and Reflect

Once you’ve had your discussions, we will regroup and share insights. Each group will have two minutes to present their thoughts. As you listen, consider the following questions:

• How do these traits reflect personal strengths?
• Are there any common themes or strategies across different experiences?

Connecting to Today’s Lesson

This activity not only highlights the different ways we can be resilient but also demonstrates that resilience can be developed and strengthened. Today, we will explore what resilience truly means, why it is crucial for our personal growth, and practical steps you can take to build resilience in your own life.
