Lesson Plan

Boundaries SEL Lesson Plan

Teach kids how to say a kind, clear no, and how to hear one, in one warm and practical week.

This five-day unit gives you a ready-to-teach plan for Littles (K-3), Middles (4-6) and Bigs (7-8), for siblings or a mixed classroom. Littles measure arm's-length space with yarn, practice No, thank you and Please stop, and make a door sign. Middles learn Edward T. Hall's four personal space zones, tally and graph the yes, no and maybe moments in a day, and write boundary scripts. Bigs survey comfort zones and compute percentages, sort firm, harsh and too-soft replies, and write a family tech agreement about photos, group chats and logging off. A note for the grown-up opens every level, with words to practice together.

Perfect for homeschool families, SEL lessons, counselors and multi-age classrooms.
