Introduce the lesson session. Greet the students and briefly explain that today we will explore what empathy means and how it can help us to better understand each other. Mention that the session will include discussions, activities, and a reflection at the end.

Present a simple definition of empathy. Share everyday examples (e.g., helping someone who is upset, listening when a friend is sad) to illustrate the concept. Ask leading questions to engage the students: 'Have you ever felt understood by someone?' or 'Can you think of a time when you helped a friend?'

Explain the role-playing activity: students will role-play scenarios that require empathy. Pair students up and hand out simple scenarios. Circulate among the pairs, prompting discussion and ensuring everyone participates.

Guide the reflection discussion. Ask students to share one key takeaway or a moment that stood out during the role-play. Reinforce how empathy makes our classroom a more supportive space.

Conclude the session by summarizing the major points learned. Thank the students for their active participation and reinforce the importance of continuing to practice empathy in everyday life.
