Don’t Pull and Take It from Me
Practice:
The class is divided into groups of two. Something to eat, a book or an object is given to one member from each group. And the other one is asked to wait outside. Once they enter inside again, they are asked to pull to take what their group partner has and disturb those who read a book. The children whose objects are pulled away explain how they feel. Also, those who pull the objects share their feelings, too. A discussion is made to explain that it is not a good thing to pull and take something from someone by force without their permission.
