What Is Perspective-Taking?

Define “perspective-taking.” Use an everyday example (e.g., disagreeing with a friend over a game) to illustrate.

Sample Role-Play Scenarios

Display 2–3 example scenarios. Encourage groups to use voice, facial expressions, and body language.

Perspective Puzzle Challenge

Explain the puzzle format and scoring. Circulate to support groups and ask probing questions.

Debrief & Reflection

Guide students to share insights. Write their responses on chart paper under “Top Tips for Understanding Others.”
