Lesson Plan

Counselor Detectives Lesson Plan

Students will learn the role of a school counselor by listening to a story, participating in a discussion, and completing a fun detective activity to identify how and when to seek help.

Introducing counselors helps kindergarteners feel supported, builds trust in school adults, and empowers students to seek help when they need it.
