Elf Empathy Exercise

Learn empathy through role-play

In this lesson, students will engage in role-playing activities as Santa's elves to learn about empathy and understanding others' feelings. Through these activities, they will practice perspective-taking and compassion, which are essential social-emotional skills. This lesson is important as it helps students develop empathy, a key component in building positive relationships and fostering a supportive classroom environment. Additionally, a craft activity will allow students to create their own elf hats, enhancing their engagement and connection to the role-playing experience.
