Lesson Plan

Choice Detectives Lesson Plan

Students will learn to weigh the pros and cons of two simple choices by filling in a fun “Choice Chart,” building early decision-making skills and thinking ahead to positive outcomes.

Developing decision-making skills helps children practice self-regulation, consider consequences, and make thoughtful choices in daily activities.
