Procedure
1.
Teacher asks students to think about these questions: What is a gift? (Something we give
to others without expecting or receiving payment in return). Then teacher asks students to
work in pairs to consider why we give gifts and to prepare one or two examples of
occasions for gifts to share with the class. (Possible answers: To celebrate an occasion
(such as Carmina’s birthday), to offer assistance, to show love or affection). Teacher lists
students’ ideas on the board.
2.
Next, teacher asks students to think about types of gifts, discuss with a partner, and be
prepared to give one or two examples to the class. (Possible answers: an object that we
purchase or make, or a service). Teacher lists students’ ideas on the board. Teacher asks
students for examples of gifts they have made for others (pictures, booklet, games, etc.)
and lists these on the board in the appropriate category from the previous step.
3.
Teacher asks students to think of a kind act someone has done for them and report to the
whole class. Teacher lists the kind acts we could do on paper or orally. (Suggestions are
listed at end of this lesson.)
4.
Each child then decides on one gift (service or object) they will give to someone in the
coming week. Teacher writes these down on the board or a piece of paper. Consider
keeping a record with child’s name, gift, recipient and when given. Ask children to let
the teacher know when they have given the gift.
Lesson Evaluation
Was each student able to tell a gift he or she had received? Did they each have an idea of a gift
to give to someone else?
Extensions
1. Give a gift to the school. This could be planting something, picking up trash, cleaning an
area or making a beautiful picture or mural.
2. Give a secret gift so that no one knows that you were the giver. This might be a flower
outside someone’s door
