LESSON: 6🔗

Introduction: Introduce the topic of compare and what effects it has on our personality.

Goals: To make the kids aware of the fact that comparing with other's affects our own personality.

Click: Comparison is the seed and jealously is the fruit

About the topic: Jealousy does not allow you to experience your true nature of love and bliss. It arises out of misunderstanding of life and yourself. We think love is a quantity that needs to be shared. That is why we are afraid, thinking that if we share our love our share will be reduced. Love is a quality inside us. It is not a limited quantity. When we compare ourselves with others we think others are superior or inferior to us that reduces the chances of loving them. We always try to prove ourselves to others. We always think about how others will perceive us. When we compare with others we try to forget best qualities of our own. We will excel and achieve in everything when we do work as passion and when we are not comparing ourselves with others. When we are happy with ourselves it enhances our own personality and confidence. We are very creative when we are more open. Everyone is different because everyone is special. If you see people who have achieved great heights in life they surely would have accepted themselves as they are, happy with what they have, would have done work out of passion.

Assessment: • Name your unique qualities • What is your passion? • What is your goal? • When are you more creative? • What happens when you compare with others?

Evaluation: Evaluate their language skills by asking them to answer few questions.

Conclusion: If you accept yourself just as you are, you can accept others as they are.

Materials needed: Paper, pencil or sketch pen

Procedure: Encourage the children to draw any picture or shape first with eyes open and then with eyes closed and compare both the pictures.

Materials Needed: Play dough, different kinds and sizes of cookie cutters

Procedure: Give each child enough play dough. Encourage children to use the different kinds and sizes of cookie cutters and make different structures out of play dough and compare the structures.
