Behaving Well
The "Behaving Well" kit is an innovative and engaging educational tool that aims to teach children basic norms of behavior in a variety of social settings. Using visual storytelling, the kit helps children navigate through the complexities of social conventions, promoting empathy, respect and cross-cultural understanding.
Main features:
Illustrated Stories: The set includes 72 detailed illustrated tiles depicting 9 different stories. Each story, consisting of 8 scenes, paints everyday situations in various public places, helping children visualize and understand appropriate and inappropriate behavior.
Behavior Learning: Five cards per story outline examples of appropriate behavior, while three show examples of uncivil or rude actions, providing a clear contrast that helps children discern between acceptable and unacceptable actions.
Symbolic Cards for Inclusion: Two unique cards, the "Alien Cards," are included to emphasize the importance of cultural understanding and adaptation. These are particularly useful for integrating children from different cultural backgrounds, highlighting that misunderstandings can result from cultural differences rather than intentional rudeness.
Teaching Guide: The set comes with a teaching guide in Italian that provides a detailed explanation of the stories and tips on how to effectively guide children through the social behavior lessons.
Educational benefits:
-
Social Development: Children learn to interact positively with others, understand social norms and behave respectfully in different environments. -
Empathy and Respect: Activities encourage children to put themselves in the shoes of others, developing sensitivity and respect for the people around them. -
Cultural Awareness: Symbolic cards help instill a sense of understanding and acceptance of cultural differences, promoting inclusion. -
Communication: By discussing scenes and behaviors, children have the opportunity to express thoughts and questions, improving language and communication skills.
Practical Use:
This kit is perfect for use in educational settings, such as schools, as well as in the home. Teachers can use these resources to create interactive lessons and group discussions, while parents can use the stories to teach important life lessons in a way that children can easily understand.
