Lesson Plan: Getting to Know You More

Duration: 30 Minutes

Objective

Students will engage in activities that promote self-awareness, foster relationships, and enhance communication skills among peers. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to share something about themselves and learn about their classmates.

Materials Needed

• Name tags
• Markers
• "All About Me" worksheets (simple drawing prompts)
• A talking stick (or any object that can be passed around)
• A large poster board or flipchart
• Crayons or colored pencils

Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 Minutes)

1. Welcome and Warm-Up:

   • Gather students in a circle.
   • Introduce the topic "Getting to Know You" and explain the importance of learning about one another.
   • Share a fun fact about yourself to break the ice.

2. Name Tags:

   • Give each student a name tag and markers to write their name. Encourage them to decorate it with their favorite color or a small drawing.

Activity 1: "All About Me" (10 Minutes)

1. Worksheet Distribution:

   • Hand out the "All About Me" worksheets which include simple drawing prompts such as:
     • Draw your favorite animal.
     • Draw something you love (e.g., a favorite toy, food, or place).

2. Independent Work:

   • Allow students a few minutes to complete their worksheets. Walk around, observe, and engage with the students as they draw.

Activity 2: Sharing Circle (10 Minutes)

1. Group Sharing:

   • Gather the students back in a circle.
   • Introduce the talking stick. Explain that when a student holds the stick, it’s their turn to share something from their "All About Me" worksheet.

2. Encourage Sharing:

   • Prompt students to share their drawings and something special about themselves. Encourage listeners to show support by clapping after each presentation.

Conclusion (5 Minutes)

1. Reflection:

   • After everyone has shared, ask a few guiding questions:
     • What did you learn about your classmates?
     • How did it feel to share something about yourself?

2. Wrap-Up:

   • Reinforce the idea that everyone is unique and has interesting stories to share.
   • Conclude with a positive affirmation like, "We are all special in our own way!"

Assessment

• Observe student engagement during the sharing circle.
• Assess students’ ability to communicate effectively and listen to peers.
• Note their willingness to participate in drawing and sharing activities.

Adaptations

• For students who may be shy, provide alternative ways to participate (e.g., the option to share a written note if they are uncomfortable speaking aloud).
• Encourage pairs or small group sharing for those who may find it easier than speaking in front of the whole class.

Teacher's Note

• Foster an inclusive and supportive environment by encouraging positive feedback and celebrating each child's individuality.
