Welcome to The Journey of Self-Control

Introduce the lesson with a welcoming tone. Explain that today we'll go on a journey to learn about self-control through a fun story and activities.

Meet Our Hero

Set the stage for the story. Explain that the character will face challenges that require making smart choices. Ask the children if they have ever had to wait patiently or control an impulse.

A Big Challenge

Highlight a key moment in the story, such as a challenge or decision point. Encourage the students to imagine what they would do in that situation.

Introduce a slide that explains the role-play activity. This slide reminds the students of the upcoming interactive session where they can practice self-control themselves.
