Lesson Plan

Say Your Needs

Preschoolers will recognize common personal needs (like hunger or rest) and practice expressing them through simple words, puppets, and drawing activities.

Early ability to articulate needs fosters self‐awareness, builds confidence in communication, and helps caregivers respond supportively.
