Teaching Idea of the Month - September 2001 |
|
 
 
  |
On this page, you will find each month a new idea for teaching or for an activity with children.
This month's idea was contributed by César Ayala, member of the "Hijos del Altisimo" team during this year.
The Pride-o-meter
| Pride |  |
- I am more important than everybody else! |
| - I am the most humble person of all. | ||
| - I am the best soccer player. | ||
| - - - - Balanced self-esteem - - - - | ||
| Low self-esteem | - Everything I do goes wrong. | |
| - I am a failure. | ||
| - Nobody likes me. |
Biblical Foundation:
"For by the grace given me I say to every one
of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but
rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with
the measure of faith God has given you." (Romans 12:3)
Let's start!
This activity can motivate the children to think about pride or
low self-esteem in their lives.
The pride-o-meter is drawn on the blackboard or on a large piece
of paper where all the children can see it well. The teacher will
label the levels as he likes, using examples he finds
appropriate.
Every child will draw his/her own pride-o-meter, using examples
from his/her own life. The teacher observes who has low
self-esteem and who is proud.
