Slide Deck

Welcome: Hands and Feet to Myself

Introduce the lesson and the importance of keeping hands and feet to oneself. Emphasize personal space as a way to show respect and care for our friends. Use the visual aids showing personal space boundaries.

What is Personal Space?

Review how self-regulation looks in practice. Use role-play examples with clear differentiation: one that shows appropriate behavior and one that does not. Ask probing questions to ensure understanding.

Let's Practice Through Role-play!

Conduct a role-play session. Break students into small groups and encourage them to act out simple scenarios. Provide guidance and affirmation throughout the exercise.

Reinforcement Game Time

Introduce the game (e.g., freeze dance with personal space rules). Explain the rules clearly and remind students to keep hands and feet to themselves even while moving.

Reflection and Review

Wrap-up session. Facilitate a reflection discussion where students share how they felt and what they learned. Use the reflection charts for visual feedback and positive reinforcement.
