Lesson Plan

Think Then Do Plan

Students will learn to pause and plan actions before acting by engaging with a puppet-driven story, practicing self-management through role-play, and reflecting in a personal journal.

Impulse control is a foundational self-management skill that helps kindergarteners think before they act, reducing disruptions and building emotional regulation through fun, hands-on practice.
