Lesson Plan
Losing with Grace Plan
Help a kindergarten ELL student learn to recognize and name disappointment, practice taking turns, and use simple coping strategies to accept losing or not getting their way through three playful, 30-minute sessions.
Accepting losing builds emotional regulation, resilience, and positive social interaction—critical skills for young ELL learners as they navigate games and peer activities.
