The lesson “Choosing Preferences” teaches children about personal preferences in many different areas of life. Children will be able to identify and verbalize personal preferences in terms of colors, games, food, songs, etc. By actively participating in activities related to his or her preferences, each child will demonstrate awareness that friends may prefer different things, but still get along. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 3-5 years, and is the sixth lesson in the 1st Year “Self-Awareness” unit.
