Lesson plan: Look what I can do
From the Your World, My World online
resource
Age group: 4 - 7
Aims:
To encourage children to feel positive about themselves.
What to do:
You will need:
-
photos 3,
4, 5, 8,
9, 10, 12,
14, 15,
17,
18, 21, 22,
and 23 from the
photo gallery, pinned up on the
classroom wall
-
sheets of A4 paper, pencils, crayons, pens etc
Preparation: make individual 'I can …' zig-zag books
for each child by cutting a piece of A4 paper in half and folding
it (illustration). On the top of the back cover, stick a piece
of paper which says 'I can', so that this appears above each page.
An alternative would be to make each child a stapled book with
a card cover and sheets of folded A4 paper.
Ask children to go around the room in pairs and, looking at the
photos, identify some of the things that the children can do.
Now come back together as a class and talk about the photos. Ask
children to say one thing that they can do and one thing that
Muluken, Cidinha, Sasha or Shakeel can do. Begin by looking at
the similarities - Muluken can play shop; Sasha can cook; Shakeel
can play football; Cidinha can dance etc. Talk about differences
too and why some children can do different things. For example,
Sasha can build a snow house as a den because he lives in a country
where there is lots of snow in winter.
Finally, ask children to complete their 'I can …' books by
writing and illustrating each page with examples of things they
can do.
