Teach and sing this week’s songs with your class: “What I Do” and “I Affect Others”.

1. Lesson objective: children should learn that our actions are seen and heard by other people and that our actions affect other people.  
   • Other people can see and hear what we do with our bodies and what we say with our mouths. Ask the class if they can hear you. Ask the class if they can see what you are doing. 
   • Other people are affected by the things we do and say. Ask the children if they feel good when somebody says something nice to them. Ask them if they feel bad if somebody hits or hurts them.  
2. Vignette: read the associated comic page (page 3) with your class aloud, then ask the following suggested questions. 
   1. • What are Phil and Connor choosing to do? 
      • What did Phil choose to say when he learned Connor was ordering fish flavored ice cream?  
      • How do you think that made Connor feel?  
3. Role Play:  
   • Have Lin and Mel pass a ball between them.  
   • Make Connor ask if he can join. 
   • Make Mel and Lin say “No”. 
     • Ask the class how Lin and Mel’s actions might affect Connor. 
   • Make Lin and Mel play ball again.
