Introduce the lesson with a warm greeting and a brief explanation about safe spaces. Encourage the student to think of kinds of things that make them feel happy and secure.

Use the first part of the lesson plan to start a conversation about what makes a space feel safe, including why we do not play games with guns or talk about weapons. Ask the student simple questions like, 'What makes you feel happy and safe at school?'

Introduce the storybook as a visual aid, emphasize storytelling. Share the story from the Safe Spaces Storybook and gently mention that some topics like guns or weapons are not part of our happy story.

Review the positive safety chart. Highlight that kind actions and words create a safe environment, and praise the student for their participation. Emphasize that avoiding harmful topics helps us all feel secure.

Wrap up the lesson by summarizing the key points. Encourage the student to practice using kind words, and remind them why we avoid unsafe topics like guns and weapons.
