Two puppets open a discussion about comfrotable and uncomfortable touches. Scholars add to the discussion information they remember from a previous lesson, then delve deep into three problem-solving safety rules, and explore gut-feelings. The friendly puppets reappear to role-play situations in which they use problem-solving techniques for safety.

Instructional Ideas

  • Team-teach the lesson with a school counselor to provide ample professional input from both adults
  • Teach the lesson with a small group to create a more comfortable atmosphere for learners to share their feelings
  • Invite two pupils to role-play a scenario using the two puppets

Classroom Considerations

  • This is the second of three lessons that explore feelings
  • Although the lesson mentions a counselor, a classroom teacher can also conduct the material
  • Find out if this lesson requires parent or guardian consent 
  • As a mandated reporter, always take action to ensure a child's safety if you suspect inappropriate behavior 

Pros

  • Establishes the importance of setting boundaries and shares ways to reinforce them 
  • Provides a handout for parents and guardians

Cons

  • The posters' graphics are blurry
