Lesson Plan

Listening Skills Plan

Coach a 1st grader to practice active listening—making eye contact, nodding, and asking questions—through guided role-play and a fun bingo game.

Building listening skills early strengthens classroom connections, fosters respectful interactions, and lays groundwork for academic and social success.
