Handling Fear

By sharing stories and doing role-play activities, youngsters learn how to deal with their fears. A class discussion is held where the teacher shares some things that used to scare him/her as a child. The kids come up with suggestions of how the teacher could have been less scared in the past. Ideas are written down and used again for another activity using a stuffed animal. "Night Fright," is the Arthur episode this instructional activity is based on.
