Make good choices, do the right thing, be responsible, be respectful, use kind words, be polite, say thank you, take turns, hold doors, help others, share... These are some of the values we want to teach our students, don't we?
The bad seed is a story to use! They will remember it throughout the year, you will be reminding them of good actions, it will be your class motto and all of a sudden your students will make an effort to be good seeds! Why? Because they want to be happy and successful! They want to be leaders!
The story is about a seed of a sunflower! The bad seed wasn't always bad. Something happened and he changed. He used to be good. But he was hurt and changed attitude. He started hitting, making fun of others, making noise and all the bad things bad seeds do! But he was sad.... So now, he is trying to to be good. Not always, sometimes! But he is trying. He sometimes waits, he sometimes says please and thank you! And he is happier! Because being good, makes you happy.
This story is fun, it can be dramatised, it can be read and it can be a great start to talk about rules, good choices, good manners.
You can find the flipbook here The story
Also, use prompts, pictures showing good and bad actions and let them decide whether it is good or bad
And you can ask them to write down how they can be good with craft
This is how we decorated the school's corridors!
We made big sunflowers and the projects.
