6.
Personal Hygiene
Demonstrate for your classmates how to have good personal hygiene. You may
want to act out the things students can do each day to look clean and smell clean
such as bathing, using deodorant, combing your hair, brushing your teeth and
wearing clean clothes. You could show how other students react to someone who
does these things versus someone who has bad breath and smells sweaty.
7.
Rhythm and Pace
Explain to your classmates that your rhythm and pace are related to your activity
level. Role play for the class how problems are created when you don’t notice the
speed of others around you and respond to it. Examples might be
A) Your family has to wait on you every day as you slowly get ready for school.
B) You run around and can’t sit still at recess while your friends sit talking.
C) Your teacher and classmates have to wait for you to get out your book and
homework.
Have students talk about situations where it’s okay to be “laid back” and take your
own time versus those where you need to pick up the pace.
8. Manners
Tell your classmates that having good manners can take a person a long way in life,
but poor manners can turn people off. You and your partner will give out the
descriptions of the “Bad Manners Misfits” to selected classmates using the “Bad
Manners Misfits Descriptions” handout (ask your teacher for it). Let each “misfit”
and a friend(s) of his or her choice act out his or her bad manners scenario. (Names
may be changed to match gender of students.) Give the rest of the students in the
class a list of the “Bad Manners Misfits” names. Students will try to identify each
misfit’s name based on his actions. Remind students not to blurt out the names but to
wait until the role-play is completed.
Bad Manners Misfits’ Names
A) Hogit Harriet
B) Motor Mouth Montae
C) Interrupting Ellen
D) Winnie Whiner
E) Gerald Gross
F) Handy Andy
G) Rosita Rude
H) Wayne Wrecker
I) Bernetta Barger
After they complete their role plays, ask the class if they would like to spend the day
with these “Bad Manners Misfits.” Remind them that good manners show others
that you care about them.
