Lesson Plan

Speak Life Sparks Lesson Plan

Students will understand how positive and negative words affect self-esteem and peer relationships, practice giving sincere compliments in both a relay game and circle activity, and craft personal affirmations to foster uplifting self-talk and supportive communication.

Building positive self-talk and peer encouragement creates a supportive classroom culture, boosts students’ confidence, and enhances empathy and collaboration skills.
