One of our most requested techniques, role plays, is now available for grades 2-5. Educators know that role-playing is one of the most effective and popular techniques for teaching children to make decisions and solve problems.

This publication features role-plays as the foundation for each of its eight units. Each unit includes two to three lessons with time-saving ready-to-use reproducible role plays. The lessons begin with teaching the targeted concept, and then offer a variety of reproducible scenarios which the students can role-play or discuss.

By helping Alex and Maddie find answers in a variety of different situations, students learn about:

  • Trustworthiness (Honesty, stealing, cheating)
  • Respect (The Golden Rule, displaying anger appropriately, manners)
  • Responsibility (Consequences, self discipline/self control, doing one’s best)
  • Being Fair (Following rules, listening, keeping an open mind)
  • Caring (Kindness, helping others, forgiveness)
  • Perseverance (Sticking with a job, not giving up)
  • Citizenship (Respect for the flag, taking care of the environment, helping your neighbors)
  • Volunteerism (Meaning of volunteerism, how students can help)

    In addition to step-by-step lesson plans and ready-to-use role-plays with discussion questions, reproducible activity sheets are also included.

    Take advantage of this user-friendly program and let your students learn how to react to puzzling everyday situations before they are faced with making a decision about them in front of their peers.
