Lesson script

Introduction

"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to have a very exciting lesson called 'All About Me'. This lesson is important because it helps us understand ourselves better and share our uniqueness with others. Knowing about ourselves is a vital part of personal development, and it also makes it easier to connect with our classmates. So, let's begin by exploring who we are!"

Card Distribution

"Now, I'm going to hand out some printable cards to each of you. These cards have different prompts that will help you think about your interests, hobbies, family, and maybe even some fun facts about yourself. Please take a moment to look at your card and read the prompts carefully. You will fill these out during our lesson today. Remember to be as creative and honest as possible! Alright, here are the cards!"

(Hand out the cards to the students.)

Group Activity

"Next, I would like you to pair up or form small groups of three. Once you’re settled, I want you to share your answers from the cards with each other. Talk about what you wrote and why those things are significant to you. This is a great opportunity for you to learn about your friends and practice your speaking and listening skills. I’ll give you 8 minutes for this activity!"

(Wait while students engage in discussion.)

Physical Activity Break

"Alright, let's take a quick break to get our bodies moving! Everyone stand up. We’re going to do some simple stretches or a quick game. How about we do some stretches first? Let’s reach for the sky… and now touch your toes! Great! Now let’s get into a fun game of 'Follow the Leader', where I will demonstrate some movements and you all will copy me. Ready? Let's energize ourselves!"

(Lead the physical activity for about 5 minutes.)

Completion of Cards

"Now that we are refreshed, let’s return to our cards. You have 5 more minutes to complete filling them out individually. Take your time and think about what makes you special and what you would like to share with others."

(Give students time to finish filling out their cards.)

Collection & Review

"Okay, time's up! Please hand your cards to me. I’ll quickly read through some of them to see the wonderful things you have written. This will help me understand you better and see the different experiences and interests in our class. Remember, this is just between us, so feel free to share openly!"

(Collect the cards and review them for a moment. After a brief glance, wrap up.)

"Thank you, everyone! You all did a fantastic job today. As your homework, I want you to reflect on what you learned about yourselves during this lesson. Write a short paragraph, 4 to 5 sentences, about something new you discovered about yourself. You will bring this with you to our next class, and you don’t need to present it. Just keep it for your own growth! See you next time!"
