Instructional Flow
1
Introduction (10 min)
Slides 1-2
Define empathy as "heart eyes"—seeing how someone feels. Ask students to show their "heart eyes" (using fingers to circle eyes). Ask: "Has anyone ever felt sad because a toy was taken away?"
2
Scenario Practice (20 min)
Slides 3-5
Walk through the scenarios. Use "Think-Pair-Share" for Slide 3 (Sharing). For Slide 4 (Helping), act out the scene of falling down and ask for a volunteer "Heart Hero" to demonstrate helping.
Teaching Tip:
Focus on the *feeling* first. Ask "How do they look?" (eyebrows down, mouth frowning) before asking for the solution.
