Accidents Lesson

Description

Help your Pre-K students learn the difference between purposeful actions and accidents with this fully scripted social-emotional learning lesson. Grounded in SEL research-based best practices, this engaging lesson uses a short story about Dax the hedgehog to help young learners learn to recognize accidents and manage their feelings when they happen. Students will build their coping skills toolbox, connect to real-life scenarios, and practice this important skill through movement, activities and discussion.

Included in the resource:

• Slideshow featuring an interactive read-aloud story with a movement-based activity
• Whole group practice activities using task cards to help students identify examples and non-examples of accidents
• Cut-out character puppets to bring the story to life and support role play and retelling
• Extension activities, including a worksheet, recommended book companions, and a teacher handout for additional support
• Closing circle questions to deepen reflection and discussion
