Self-Management Superpowers! Script

Introduction: What is a Superpower? (5 minutes)

Teacher: "Good morning, everyone! Let's start our day with a fun question. If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? Think about your favorite superheroes!"

(Allow a few students to share their ideas, encouraging creativity.)

Teacher: "Those are some amazing ideas! Today, we're going to talk about a very special kind of superpower that all of you already have inside you. It's not about flying or invisibility, but it's just as powerful for helping you every single day!"

Exploring Self-Management (10 minutes)

Teacher: "This superpower is called self-management. Look at the slide. It says, 'It's like having a remote control for YOU!' What do you think that means?"

(Allow students to share ideas.)

Teacher: "Exactly! Self-management means being in charge of your own actions, thoughts, and feelings. It's about making good choices for yourself, even when no one is telling you what to do."

(Transition to Self-Management Superpowers Slide Deck - Slide 3)

Teacher: "Let's look at some examples of self-management. It could be staying organized, like keeping your desk tidy, or finishing tasks, like getting your homework done on time. It also means managing your emotions, like taking a deep breath when you feel frustrated. Can anyone think of another example of self-management?"

(Encourage a few more student examples.)

(Transition to Self-Management Superpowers Slide Deck - Slide 4)

Teacher: "Why do you think self-management is so important, especially at school? How does it help you be a better student?"

(Discuss student responses, emphasizing how it helps with learning, organization, and working with others.)

(Transition to Self-Management Superpowers Slide Deck - Slide 5)

Teacher: "And it's not just for school! Self-management helps you in your everyday life too. It helps you feel calm and in control, makes tasks easier, and helps you reach your goals. It builds confidence!"

Activity: My Self-Management Action Plan (10 minutes)

Teacher: "Now it's your turn to activate your self-management superpower! We're going to work on an activity called Self-Management Action Plan Activity."

(Distribute the Self-Management Action Plan Activity worksheets.)

Teacher: "On this worksheet, you'll choose one area where you want to improve your self-management. Maybe you want to be better at organizing your backpack, or remembering to do your chores, or staying calm when you feel angry. Then, you'll brainstorm some strategies—those are the specific actions you can take to make that improvement. For example, if you want to organize your backpack, a strategy might be 'clean it out every Friday afternoon.'"

(Transition to Self-Management Superpowers Slide Deck - Slide 6)

Teacher: "Take about 8 minutes to think about your goal and write down at least two strategies. I'll be walking around to help if you need ideas!"

(Circulate, offer guidance, and support students as they work.)

Share & Reflect (5 minutes)

(Transition to Self-Management Superpowers Slide Deck - Slide 7)

Teacher: "Alright, class, let's bring it back together. Who would like to share their self-management goal and one strategy they plan to use?"

(Invite a few students to share, ensuring a positive and supportive environment.)

Teacher: "Excellent job, everyone! Remember, developing your self-management superpowers is a journey, not a one-time thing. Keep practicing these skills, and you'll be amazed at how much you can achieve and how confident you'll feel. You have these amazing superpowers inside you!"
