Lesson Plan
Think Before You Act
Students will learn to identify their impulses and practice strategies to pause, think, and choose a more appropriate action.

Audience
4th Grade Group
Time
30 minutes
Approach
Interactive discussion, visual aids, a game, and personal reflection to practice impulse control.
Materials
Stop & Go Signals (slide-deck), Impulse Island Adventure (game), and My Moment of Pause (journal)
Prep
Preparation Steps
15 minutes
- Review the Think Before You Act Lesson Plan and all supporting materials.
- Print copies of the My Moment of Pause Journal for each student.
- Prepare to project the Stop & Go Signals Slide Deck.
- Gather any small tokens or stickers for the game rewards.
Step 1
Introduction: What's an Impulse?
5 minutes
- Begin by asking students: "Have you ever done something without really thinking first? What happened?"
- Introduce the concept of an impulse: a quick feeling or urge to do something without planning.
- Explain that today they will become "Impulse Control Heroes" by learning how to pause and think.
Step 2
Understanding Stop & Go Signals
7 minutes
- Present the Stop & Go Signals Slide Deck.
- Go through each slide, discussing what a "Stop" signal feels like in their body (e.g., racing heart, urge to yell) and what a "Go" signal involves (e.g., taking a deep breath, counting to three, thinking of consequences).
- Engage students with examples relevant to their school day (e.g., blurting out, grabbing a toy).
Step 3
Impulse Island Adventure Game
10 minutes
- Introduce the Impulse Island Adventure Game.
- Explain the rules: Students will encounter scenarios where they need to use their "Stop & Go Signals." Successful application earns a point or a token.
- Facilitate the game, providing encouragement and guiding students through the decision-making process for each scenario.
Step 4
My Moment of Pause Reflection
5 minutes
- Distribute the My Moment of Pause Journal.
- Instruct students to write or draw about a time they successfully used a "Stop & Go Signal" or a time they wish they had.
- Encourage sharing if students feel comfortable.
Step 5
Wrap-up and Hero Badges

Slide Deck
Impulse Control Heroes!
Are you ready to become an Impulse Control Hero?
Today, we'll learn how to:
- Pause when you feel a strong urge.
- Think about what to do next.
- Choose the best action!
Welcome students and introduce the idea of impulses. Ask them for quick examples of when they might act without thinking.
What's an Impulse?
It's a strong, sudden feeling or urge to do something without thinking first!
- Wanting to grab the last cookie.
- Yelling out an answer in class.
- Pushing ahead in line.
Explain what an 'impulse' is using simple, kid-friendly language. Emphasize that everyone has them!
Stop! Recognize Your Impulse
Your body gives you clues!
- Red Light Feelings:
- Heart beating fast?
- Feeling super excited or super mad?
- Hands clenched?
When you feel these, it's time to STOP!
Introduce the 'Stop' signal. Ask students what it feels like in their body when they have a strong impulse. Guide them to recognize these physical cues.
Go! What's Your Plan?
Once you stop, you can choose to GO in a good direction!
- Take 3 Deep Breaths
- Count to 5 (or 10!) in your head.
- Think: What will happen if I act now? What are other choices?
- Ask for help if you need it.
Introduce the 'Go' signal strategies. Brainstorm with students what they can do to pause. Deep breaths are a great starting point.
Let's Practice: Scenario 1
You're playing a game, and your friend accidentally knocks over your tower.
- STOP! What do you feel?
- GO! What can you do instead of yelling?
Provide a simple scenario and ask students to practice identifying the 'Stop' and 'Go' steps. Encourage discussion.
Let's Practice: Scenario 2
The teacher asks a question, and you know the answer! You feel like you HAVE to shout it out!
- STOP! What does your body tell you?
- GO! How can you share your answer appropriately?
Provide another scenario. Emphasize that taking a moment can change the outcome.
You Are Impulse Control Heroes!
Remember the STOP & GO strategy:
- STOP when you feel an impulse.
- THINK about your choices.
- CHOOSE the best action.
Keep practicing, and you'll be amazing Impulse Control Heroes!
Summarize the key takeaway and encourage them to use these skills throughout the day. Remind them they are heroes!

My Moment of Pause Journal
Being an Impulse Control Hero means taking a moment to STOP, THINK, and then CHOOSE your actions. Use this journal to reflect on your journey to becoming a super thoughtful decision-maker!
Prompt 1: My Impulse Superpower
Think about a time today or recently when you felt an impulse – a strong urge to do something without thinking. What was it? How did it feel in your body? What did you do to STOP yourself?
Prompt 2: My Go-To Strategy
What is one "GO" strategy that works best for you when you need to pause and think? (For example: deep breaths, counting, thinking of consequences, asking for help.) Describe how you use it.
Prompt 3: Hero in Action
Imagine a future situation where you might feel a strong impulse (e.g., getting frustrated during a group project, seeing someone take your turn). How will you use your "Stop & Go Signals" to be an Impulse Control Hero in that moment?
Drawing Space: My Impulse Control Shield

- Small tokens or stickers (Impulse Control Gems)
- Optional: A simple game board drawing of an island path with spaces
How to Play:
- The teacher will read aloud a scenario card.
- Students will take turns identifying the "STOP" signal (what impulse they might feel) and then describing their "GO" strategy (what they would do to pause, think, and choose).
- If a student successfully identifies a clear "Stop" and "Go" strategy, they earn an "Impulse Control Gem."
- The game continues through the scenarios, giving everyone a chance to practice.

How to Play:
- The teacher will read aloud a scenario card.
- Students will take turns identifying the "STOP" signal (what impulse they might feel) and then describing their "GO" strategy (what they would do to pause, think, and choose).
- If a student successfully identifies a clear "Stop" and "Go" strategy, they earn an "Impulse Control Gem."
- The game continues through the scenarios, giving everyone a chance to practice.

GO! What's your strategy to handle this situation calmly?

GO! What's your strategy to deal with your feelings and the situation?
Scenario 4: The Exciting Answer
