Created By: Pam Gunter

stop sign, an ear, a mouth or lips, and a question mark or light bulb.

Classroom Setup: The students may sit at their desks or on the

floor at the beginning of the lesson. During the lesson you will need some open floor space.

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK – FOLLOW UP

Ask the children if they remember what last week’s challenge was. Have them share experiences they had about making good choices when they were angry. Did they try to relax, think of good thoughts, and remember to speak respectfully to others even if they were upset?

THE OBJECT OF THE LESSONPoints instructor needs to bring out: Reinforce to the students that everyone on

earth is different, even identical twins. We have different looks, feelings, interests,

etc. Just because we are different doesn’t mean

that one person is better than another. When we disagree, we need to cool off, be

respectful, listen, speak when it is our turn, think which idea is the best for everyone, and do it.

When we work together, we can accomplish many things.
