Seeing Through Others' Eyes

Introduce the lesson by explaining that today we are going to learn about perspective taking—seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. Emphasize that understanding other people’s feelings helps us make friends and solve problems.

Warm-Up Discussion

Start with a warm-up discussion. Ask the students how they feel when someone listens to them. Explain that listening and looking at things from another's point of view can help us understand how people feel.

Role-Play Activity

Instructions for the main activity: divide students into small groups and provide them with Perspective Role-Play Cards. Guide them to act out scenarios and discuss the feelings and viewpoints of characters in the role-play.

Cool-Down Reflection

For the cool-down, gather everyone together for reflection. Ask each student to share one new thing they learned about how someone else might feel. Emphasize the importance of empathy and understanding.
