Teaching Activities
- Discuss as a
class the people that 'make a difference' to our lives. Make a class
record. Individually, on small pieces of paper, write the names of
some people who 'make a difference' to them personally. Put the cards
into categories/groups e.g. family, friends, school, helpers etc.
Put themselves in. Discuss the sorts of groups they have.
- Recap on the
sorts of groups people were put into last session. Focus on 'family'
group - discuss who is in our families? Show a collection of story
books about families with different members; make available for them
to look at over the next couple of weeks - thinking about who makes
up a family. Draw all the people in their family as a 'paper chain'.
Think of three roles each member has and write these on the back.
Discuss the different roles/jobs people may have in a family. (For
the next session, ask them to think of a special time they spent/spend
with their family and bring in [if they can] a photo or object that
reminds them of it).
- Talk about some
of the photos/objects that have been brought in and make a display
of them. Read some poems from 'All in the family', 'Wouldn't you like
to know' and 'Quick let's get out of here' (see below). Discuss some
of the special times in the poems. Ask them to use their photo or
object to write about their special family time or occasion.
