Lesson Plan

Circle Time Champions Plan

Students will learn and practice three clear circle‐time expectations—respect, active listening, and understanding consequences—and track their behavior to earn end‐of‐session rewards like games or outdoor breaks.

Establishing consistent norms and a positive reward system builds a cooperative community, reduces off‐task behavior, and empowers students to take ownership of their circle‐time interactions.
