Mini-Lesson Pacing
0-2 Minutes: Settle & Focus
SLIDES 1-2
Welcome the "Fairness Heroes" to the carpet. Show Slide 2 for the Hero Breath.
"Before we learn our hero powers, let's take a Hero Breath. Smell the flower... (Breathe in deep) ...and blow a big bubble! (Breathe out slow)."
Do this 3 times to help students focus and regulate.
2-3 Minutes: What is Fair?
SLIDE 3
Introduce the concept:
- "Fairness means making sure everyone is happy and has what they need."
- "It means sharing and being kind so no one feels left out."
3-5 Minutes: The Hero Phrase
SLIDE 4
Teach the intervention phrase: "Let's make it fair for everyone!"
Practice with "hero hands" (fists on hips). Tell them they will shout this during the game if they see something that isn't fair.
5-9 Minutes: Game - Move if it's Fair!
SLIDES 5-11
Game Rules (Slide 5):
- If FAIR (Slides 6, 8, 10): Students jump and shout "Fair!"
- If NOT FAIR (Slides 7, 9, 11): Students cross arms and shout: "Let's make it fair for everyone!"
Keep the pace fast and energetic to maintain Pre-K engagement!
9-10 Minutes: Victory Cheer
SLIDE 12
"I am fair! You are fair! We take turns and care!"
Calming Down:
If the jumping gets too high, return to the Hero Breath (Slide 2) before transitioning to the next activity.
Watch For:
Look for students who naturally start using the Hero Phrase during playtime later today—celebrate those moments!
