Hello, little friends! Today, we’re going to learn about something very special: helping others. Helping is a way to show kindness and make people happy. Let’s find out how we can help our friends and family!
There are many times when someone might need a little help. Can you think of some? Here are a few ideas:
These are all great times to offer help!
Let’s see how we can offer help. Imagine your friend Dean has dropped some toys. You can say, “Dean, would you like my help?” If Dean says, “Yes, please!” you can help him pick up the toys. If he says, “No, thank you,” that’s okay too!
It’s important to ask first and listen to what they say. Sometimes people want help, and sometimes they want to do it by themselves.
Now, let’s practice offering help. Here are some fun examples:
See how easy it is? By offering help, we can make our friends and family feel happy and loved.
Today, try to find a chance to offer help to someone. It could be at home, in the playground, or anywhere you see someone who might need a hand. Remember, being kind and helpful makes the world a better place!
Great job learning about helping today! I can’t wait to see you again to explore more ways to be friendly and kind. Keep being curious and kind!
Helping Hands Art Project: Create a “Helping Hands” collage. Trace your hand on a piece of paper and cut it out. On each finger, write or draw a way you can help someone. You can use crayons, markers, or stickers to decorate your hand. Once finished, share your helping hand with the class and talk about how you plan to help others.
Role-Playing Game: Pair up with a friend and take turns acting out different scenarios where someone might need help. For example, pretend one of you is trying to reach a book on a high shelf or needs help tying their shoelaces. Practice asking, “Would you like my help?” and responding with “Yes, please!” or “No, thank you.”
Helping Hunt: Go on a “Helping Hunt” around your home or classroom. Look for opportunities where you can offer help. It could be organizing toys, setting the table, or helping a friend with a task. Afterward, share with the group what you did and how it made you and the other person feel.
