Week 3

Week 3 centres on listening, names, and noticing feelings, keeping the energy high and the climate warm. You’ll launch with Walk, Stop, Name, Clap, a brisk whole-group game that sharpens attention and reaction while building confidence with names and shared actions (with easy swaps like “Move” or taps/claps for accessibility). Next, My Empathy Tree slows the pace for gentle reflection: students recall a time they helped, choose how it made them and others feel, and “grow” a class tree with leaves or stickers. Expect clear wins in focus, voice/gesture use, and early empathy language, with multiple ways to respond (verbal, visual, AAC, or modelling).

To re-energise, Roll & Move uses a giant die and whole-class actions to practise coordination, turn-taking, and joy in moving together. It is simple to set up, highly adaptable, and fully wheelchair-friendly with mirrored alternatives. You’ll close with Emotions Match-Up, linking feelings to everyday scenarios through acting, drawing, pointing, or short sentences; peers guess, discuss, and celebrate that there’s no single “right” way to feel. Educators can expect minimal equipment, clear visual prompts, non-eliminating play, and embedded adaptations for Levels A–D and F–3. Across the week, look for growth in listening accuracy, reaction control, social confidence (using names, cheering others), physical literacy, and richer emotion and empathy vocabulary, setting up a calm, connected platform for Week 4.
