Wealthy Elementary TEAM

Setting: Playground
“Today we are going to talk about ways to be a **__TEAM__** on the **__Playground__**.” ** Take Responsibility ** ** Everyone Safe ** ** Always Respectful ** ** Make a Difference ** What are some ways we can **_____________** on the playground? Ask students to define what **______________** means and/or looks like. Shape their responses into observable behaviors (e.g. if they say to be “nice”, ask for examples of being peaceful that equate to observable skills such as solving problems, using non-insulting language, . . .). There are several ways to **___________________**. For example, we can: · Problem solve conflicts o Talk/Walk/Squawk · Return from the playground quietly Review above key behaviors and any other skills the students identify. =__ Demonstrate and Role Play: __= I am going to show you some ways to be a **TEAM** member and some examples of not being a team member**.** I want you to watch me and see if you can tell if I am a **TEAM** member. After each example, ask the students if you were a **TEAM** member. Ask what you might do instead during non-examples. · Taking turns with the basketball · Following game rules · Shouting at someone · Shoving during a game of tag · Lining Up · Using problem solving skills to settle a disagreement o Talk/Walk/Squawk Set up a few practice sessions with your students based on key behaviors of rule, or use older students to role-play **APPROPRIATE** examples of the skill. Following each role-play, review with all students. Was he/she a **TEAM** member? Today we talked about being a **TEAM** member on the playground. As you can see, there are lots of ways to be a **TEAM** member on the playground. Ask students to identify key behaviors to being a **TEAM** member**.** =__ Assignments: __= “Today we will be watching you to see if you are being a **TEAM** member on the playground. At the end of the day, I will ask you to tell me what you did to be a **TEAM** member.” What should you do today? What am I going to ask you?
