Activities - Week 12 - Empathy Day

We are taking part in Empathy Day to help everyone understand and experience the power of empathy through books. There are three parts to empathy: feeling the way others feel; thinking and working out how people are feeling; acting on this. Scientists say that we can train our brain with stories, as the more we empathise with characters, the more we can understand other people's feelings. On the 9^th June there are events happening throughout the day here: bit.ly/empathydaylive.

This week choose at least one of the following activities and share your what you thought about it by emailing your teacher and/or telling your teacher about it the next time you speak to them on the phone.

Listen to the story The Rabbit Listened

Read an empathy short story https://www.empathylab.uk/empathy-shorts

Try Bali Rai’s ‘I am’ if you in a serious mood. Try Sam Copeland’s ‘Caveman learns a big huge lesson’ if you are in a silly mood

Watch out for the people in your family showing good listening skills. You could make a chart like this:

Listening Skills	Ticks/comments
Being curious, genuinely interested
Using open questIOns (That can’t be answered with a Yes oR No)
Being still and quiet
Concentrating 100%
Tuning into feelings
giving feelings a name
hearing the meaning behind the words
Not offering ADvice, solutions, opinions

Find a way to celebrate your family’s great listening skills at the end of the day

Think of the songs and nursery rhymes you know. Share one with your grown ups. How does it make them feel? How do you feel when they share a rhyme with you?

Try Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Incy Wincy Spider, Wind The Bobbin Up, If You’re Happy and You Know It
