Role Playing

This week was all about Roleplaying. What is role playing? Role playing is students acting out situations.  These roleplay scenarios are to learn about how to react to conflicts around them. The student got into groups and acted out: 

Classroom: 

• you don't have a pencil
• someone budged you in line
• someone is bumping you during carpet time 
• someone is humming or whistling in class
• no more tissues

Lunch Time: 

• you need you milk open
• you have to go to the bathroom
• you spilled
• someone pushed you 
• you don't like your food

Recess: 

• someone hits/kicks you
• you can't find anyone to play with you
• someone won't leave you alone
• you are hurt
• someone pushed you off the slide

All of them had the same reaction: Stop, Think, Do

I had them pick their friends for these scenarios because they feel comfortable acting in front of people with their friends next to them.
