This document outlines a lesson plan on teaching respect and kindness. The objective is for children to understand what respect means and how to show respect to one another. The lesson involves a discussion where children share their definitions of respect and kindness. The teacher then prompts discussion on how respect is important and how the world would be without it. Children are also asked how they can demonstrate respect and kindness in the classroom, with examples from the teacher. The assessment is whether children understand and can articulate what respect and kindness mean and how to show it to themselves and others.

Timing: Activity:
What will the adult be doing? (including modelling):

3 mins ‘Today we are talking and learning about respect’. Give the children a chance to talk about what respect might mean. After this,
ask them what they think it means. After their definition, provide your own.

3 mins Talk with the children about whether they think respect is important, and how they feel the world would look without any respect
in it. ‘How do you think you would feel if nobody respected anybody? Would the world be a nice place to live? Why?’

5 mins Ask the children how they can show respect and kindness in the classroom. Introduce the word kindness and ask what they
think it means. Then proceed to discuss how we can show this in the classroom. Chip in with your own examples e.g. if a child
is reading a book, we do not snatch it off them etc.

2 mins How would you feel if you weren’t respected?

2 mins Ask the children what they should do if they see somebody not showing respect.
Assessment: (Reflections on children’s learning)

Children should have an understanding of what respect and kindness means and how they can respect themselves and others.
