Lesson Plan

Rapport Builders Lesson Plan

Introduce 1st graders to school counseling by building rapport through name‐tag creation, icebreakers, and sharing activities to foster a supportive group environment.

Building rapport early helps students feel comfortable sharing ideas, fosters trust in the counselor and peers, and lays the foundation for future group sessions.
