Managements of feelings in 5-6 years old Which are designed to raise awareness of themselves and of others feelings
Face the fear
In this activity I try to use almost all the strategies of social abilities management in only one class, but it’s not necessary to use them all.
This session I think it would be more convenient in the last year of the second cycle of pre-school (ages 5-6), although well carried could be smaller. Despite the fact that I have chosen this since every child have some fear, should be especially careful because what we believe is a simple fear may be a phobia.
Therefore, that the teacher has to do where can reach with each child, and go slowly evolve with those that costs them more tackle them.
Also like many in class will be treated is not made heavy, but never leaving respond to each student. Although many activities are seen perhaps, these are short and entertaining so it would be performed in a session.
Always with simple instructions, and with simple vocabulary and accessible.
1) We will begin the session with the teacher telling them which is their greatest fear. In this way we will show that all we have a fear of something. Here we will apply the program of modeling, where the student through the observation of the addressing of their fears, students will have a positive attitude to observe and imitate to overcome his fright.
2) Then students will be drawn on a sheet of paper which is his fear. 3) After that each one will proceed to say what is your fear and why, in this way is will break the barrier of fear, since open tell of their fear and why you have it, with these we find where it comes from that very important fear for came over.
4) Now we will do a role play, where the student will display (being fear) which is what makes this. And then tried to "ridicule it still put that you are afraid is likely getting bogged down or do so "bad" then the following activity.
5) Feedback on performance, which together seek a form of "ridicule the fear" (for example we can imagine the spider that is the fear with skates) in such a way that the student will now again represent the role play but having fun with their fear and with contributions from fellow. This so we break with fear, or the seriousness that can give the fear.
It is possible that many say to the dark for this reason might be that the teacher choose and so use flashlights and kind half off as his way of dealing with fear, and possibly for many students, but in the game you propose should be lights go off in such a way that at the end face of fun way to the dark.
6) The last thing we will do is to work out in the transfers of conduct (where we will go back in as we will overcome fears through videos or depictions that see or do, where they will have to view which is a good way to overcome the fears and which not, also can be applied to their fear.
7) If enough time would be nice that finally the teacher show a box, which is a magic box where everyone with a few magic words you can enclose your fear (that will be related to the videos of the previous activity). Thus those who serve this technique you can apply to your real life.
