Lesson Plan
Rocket to Growth Lesson Plan
Guide a kindergartner through a 15-minute, one-on-one, outer-space themed adventure to build growth mindset. The learner will view mistakes as “rocket fuel,” practice a small challenge, and reflect on how to “orbit” new skills.
Early growth-mindset practice helps children embrace challenges, persist after setbacks, and build lifelong resilience and confidence. This quick, playful session makes abstract ideas concrete.
