The lesson “Empathy” teaches children more about building relationships and the importance of interacting with others in a kind and compassionate manner. Learning the definition of empathy through story telling, each child will explain a time when he or she was kind to another person. The children will then name two or more ways to be kind to another person in the future. 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 19th lesson in the 2nd Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Social Relationships” unit.
