Introduce empathy in simple, relatable terms. Explain that empathy is about understanding and caring for others. Use examples like sharing toys or helping friends when they are sad.

Give visual examples of empathy. Include simple icons or images depicting acts such as sharing, helping, or comforting someone.

Ask open-ended questions to engage the students in a discussion about empathy. Encourage them to think of times they felt cared for or cared for someone else.

Conclude the discussion by linking it to the Empathy Garden activity. Remind students that their paper flowers will represent these kind actions.
