The lesson “Giving and Receiving Forgiveness” teaches children the effectiveness of healthy interpersonal skills, specifically forgiveness. Through story telling and role-playing, the children are able to understand and explain how everyone sometimes makes mistakes, and that it is both necessary and compassionate to express forgiveness. Each child will practice both expressing remorse for a mistake and asking for forgiveness, but also extending forgiveness to another child who asks. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 3-5 years, and is the 37th lesson in the 1st Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Emotional Development” unit.
