Seal - Qualities of a friend

This activity involved me reading the cards and the children deciding whether it was a 'rubbish' statement or a 'treasure' statement. I had a rubbish bin and a treasure box in the middle of the circle. I gave each child a rubbish/treasure card which they had to show first which gave me a good assessment of each child's views.

I just laminated the treasure and rubbish cards back to back

Seal - physical hurt or hurt feelings

I did this activity recently for children to understand the difference between a physical hurt and when someone hurts their feelings. I had a picture of a child who was obviously sad and crying and a child who had hurt their knee. The children had to decide where each scenario would go.

This looks quite interesting. Found a nice story on anger which will come in useful for SEAL

The Red Beast - book on anger

I saw a recommendation for this book on a teaching forum and thought I would add it to the HLTA bookshop. It looks perfect for explaining how anger makes us feel. I wish I had known about this book before today as I did a SEAL lesson on anger. It would have been perfect for that.

Seal - Getting on and Falling out

I thought I would use A Friend for Little Bear to introduce the concept of 'friendship' to the children.

Synopsis Little Bear lives all alone on a desert island. He wishes he had something to play with. Then a stick comes floating by, followed by a bottle and then a wooden horse. Little Bear and wooden horse play together and have a wonderful time. But problems arise as more and more things come floating by.

Followed by discussions on 'qualities' of being a friend and the difference between being friendly and being a friend. I designed this worksheet for the children to fill in the 'qualities' of being a friend.
