"Share and Shine" Instructional Facilitation Guide

Introduction (2 Minutes)

Teacher: “Good morning, friends! Today we’re going to learn all about sharing and how it helps us be great friends.”

Teacher: “Can anyone tell me what the word ‘sharing’ means?”

*Wait for 2–3 responses.*

Teacher: “Those are wonderful ideas! Sharing means letting someone else use or enjoy something that belongs to you. When we share, we show kindness and help our friends feel happy.”

Teacher: “Today, we’ll learn why sharing helps us be good friends and we’ll practice sharing in fun ways!”

Story Time (4 Minutes)

Teacher: “Now let’s read a story called Benny's Blue Ball. I’ll hold it up so everyone can see the cover.”

*Hold up the book and show the cover.*

Teacher: “Here we go!”

*Read pages 1–3 aloud.*

Teacher: “When Jason asked, ‘Can I play with your ball, Benny?’ how do you think Benny felt?”

*Wait for 1–2 students to answer.*

*Read pages 4–6 aloud.*

Teacher: “Oh no—Benny said, ‘No, it’s mine,’ and Jason walked away feeling sad. Have you ever felt sad when someone didn’t share with you?”

*Allow 1 student to share briefly.*

*Read pages 7–8 and the ending line.*

Teacher: “Benny shared, and they both had twice as much fun. That shows how sharing brings happiness!”

Discussion (3 Minutes)

Teacher: “Now we’re going to talk about sharing in our own lives. I have some Discussion Prompt Cards. I’ll shuffle them and draw one.”

*Shuffle cards and draw one.*

Teacher (reading card): “Your friend asks to play with your toy truck. What do you do?”

Teacher: “What is your idea?”

*Invite 2–3 students to respond.*

Teacher: “Great idea! I’ll write that on our Sharing Scenario Chart.”

*Record ideas on the chart.*

Role-Play Practice (4 Minutes)

Teacher: “Now let’s practice sharing with our friends! Please find a partner.”

Teacher: “Each pair will get a Role-Play Scenario Card. Read your card and act out the situation.”

Teacher: “Remember to use sharing words like ‘Here you go!’ and to take turns.”

*Distribute cards and let pairs begin. Circulate to provide praise.*

Teacher: “Okay, friends—switch roles so everyone has a chance to share!”

Reflect and Close (2 Minutes)

Teacher: “Let’s come back to our circle and look at our Sharing Scenario Chart.”

Teacher: “How did it feel to share with your partner?”

*Invite 2–3 students to respond.*

Teacher: “Wonderful—sharing made you feel good, and it made others feel good too!”

Teacher: “Great job today, everyone. Remember, sharing shows kindness and helps us be good friends. Let’s keep sharing all day long!”
