Lesson plan

1. Recap and recall

Ask the children to recall what the term physical contact means (It is when one person touches another).

Ask the children to talk to their partners to discuss:

  • Three types of physical contact that they do like.

  • Two types of physical contact that they do not like.

  • One type of physical contact that is never acceptable (e.g. hitting, punching, pinching).
