Lesson Introduction: How to Behave

Objective:

To teach students the importance of good behavior in health and social care settings and how their actions affect themselves and those around them.

Lesson Hook: The Magic Mirror

Activity Overview:

Begin the lesson with an engaging interactive activity called "The Magic Mirror." This will set a positive tone and spark curiosity about behavior in health and social care.

Materials Needed:

• A large mirror or a reflective surface
• A colorful, decorated poster that reads, "How Do You Want to Be Seen?"
• Sticky notes and markers

Steps to Conduct the Activity:

1. Introduction to the Mirror:

   • Gather students in a circle around the "Magic Mirror." Explain that this mirror reflects not just their faces but their behaviors too.
   • Ask students, "When you look in this mirror, what do you see? Do you see kindness? Do you see sharing? Do you see good listening?"

2. Personal Reflection:

   • Invite each student to come up to the mirror and take a moment to think about one positive behavior they can show today. For example, they could think of sharing, being polite, or helping a friend.
   • After their turn, students write their chosen behavior on a sticky note and place it on the poster that reads, "How Do You Want to Be Seen?"

3. Group Discussion:

   • Once everyone has shared, discuss why these behaviors are important in health and social care. Ask questions like:
     • "How does being kind help our friends?"
     • "What happens if we don’t listen to one another?"
   • Emphasize how good behavior can create a happier and healthier environment.

4. Transition to Lesson:

   • Conclude the hook by telling the students that today’s lesson will explore different ways to behave well and why it matters in school, at home, and in the community.

Wrap-Up:

• Collectively review the sticky notes on the poster, reinforcing the importance of the behaviors shared. Highlight that their positive behaviors are like a superpower that can make the world around them a better place.

By engaging students with the "Magic Mirror" activity, they will not only reflect on their own behavior but also understand the impact it has on their health and social interactions. This sets a perfect tone for diving deeper into the lesson on how to behave appropriately.
