Companion to Lesson Plan

Scenario Cards

Boost your lessons with scenario cards that help students practice 'I' statements in real-life situations. These engaging exercises build empathy, communication skills, and interpersonal connections.

Scenario Card Instructions:

Carefully cut out each square.
Laminate the cards for durability, except for the blank one—it's for a formative assessment opportunity.
Distribute the cards and allow students to discuss in groups. Each group will then present their "I feel" statement to the class.
Keep the blank card unlaminated for students to fill in as part of an interactive assessment activity. Enjoy the discussion!
