Sharing Story Script

Alex and the Colorful Blocks

One morning, Alex carefully carried his favorite colorful blocks to school. He placed them in the center of the play area and smiled. The blocks were bright red, blue, green, and yellow.

(Pause and ask: “What do you think Alex will build?”)

Soon, Sam and Mia noticed Alex’s blocks. Sam walked over and said, “Can I play with the blue block?” But Alex shook his head and said, “No, these are my blocks.”

(Pause and ask: “How do you think Sam feels?”)

Mia sat quietly on the mat while Alex began building a tall, wobbly tower. When the tower fell, Alex looked sad. He saw Sam and Mia watching him.

Alex took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry I didn’t share. Would you like to help me build the tower?” Sam and Mia smiled and nodded. They each picked a block and handed it to Alex.

Together, the three friends stacked the blocks carefully, taking turns. When they finished, their tall tower sparkled in the sunlight.

Alex clapped his hands and said, “Thank you for helping me!” Sam and Mia cheered. Alex learned that sharing blocks made playtime even more fun.

(Pause and ask: “How did Alex share? What could you share with a friend?”)

Sharing Circle Mat

Purpose: Encourage students to practice naming kind words or actions while taking turns speaking.

Setup:

• Spread the Sharing Circle Mat in an open area where all students can see and reach the center.
• Place a basket of Kindness Tokens next to the mat.

Instructions:

1. Invite students to sit around the mat, leaving a small space between each child.
   
   
   
2. Show the Kindness Token and explain that the child holding it gets to share one kind word or action.
   
   
   
3. Pass the token clockwise around the circle. When a student holds the token, they share aloud.
   
   
   
4. After sharing, the student places the token back in the basket, and you pass a new token to the next friend.
   
   
   

Teacher Tips:

• Model sharing first by holding the token and stating a kind word (e.g., “I help my friend.”)
• Use a gentle chime or soft sound to signal it’s time to pass the token.
• Praise children for waiting patiently and listening to their classmates.
• If a child is shy, offer a simple prompt (e.g., “You could say ‘thank you,’ ‘please,’ or ‘nice job!’”).

Role-Play Scenario Cards

Instructions: Print and cut along the lines to create four scenario cards. In pairs, pick one card and act out the situation. Practice using kind words, sharing, and taking turns.

Scenario 1: The Toy Truck
Sara is playing with a toy truck. Liam wants to play too.
Practice: Act out how Liam can ask politely, “Can I play with the truck when you’re done?” Then take turns pushing the truck.

Scenario 2: The Red Crayon
Mia is coloring a picture with the red crayon. Alex also needs the red crayon.
Practice: Act out how Alex can say, “Please can I borrow the red crayon?” and how Mia can respond, “Sure, you can have it next.”

Scenario 3: Snack Time Share
Jay has two crackers but only wants one. He sees Emma without a snack.
Practice: Act out Jay offering a cracker and Emma saying “thank you.”

Scenario 4: Puzzle Pieces
Two friends each have a puzzle piece but neither has the piece they need.
Practice: Act out how they can swap pieces and say, “Would you like to trade with me?”

Cool-Down Reflection Cards

Purpose:
Help students end the lesson with a calm moment of reflection. Each card shows a sharing moment. Children will choose a card, take a deep breath, and talk about what they see and how it makes them feel.

Instructions for Teacher:

1. Print and cut out each card below.
2. Spread the cards face up in a calm area (e.g., reading corner or carpet).
3. Invite each child, one at a time, to pick a card.
4. Guide them through a simple breathing exercise:
   • Look at the picture on your card.
     
     
     
   • Take a slow inhale through your nose (count 1-2).
     
     
     
   • Exhale through your mouth (count 1-2).
     
     
     
5. Ask: “What do you see happening? How does sharing make you feel?”
6. Praise their observations and empathy.
