Lesson Plan

Tell Don't Tattle Lesson Plan

By the end of this lesson, Pre-K students will distinguish tattling from telling by identifying examples and practicing how to share information that keeps friends safe.

Early social-emotional learning helps children develop trust, empathy, and safety awareness. Teaching the difference between tattling and telling builds classroom harmony and reduces unnecessary conflict.
