WALK IN ANOTHER’S SHOES: Have the children sit in a circle and put all of their shoes in the middle of the circle. When the teacher/parent blows the whistle, children can run to the middle and find a PAIR of shoes that are NOT their own and run back to their place in the circle and try to put the shoes on their own feet. Children can then be told to WALK in those shoes for a little bit. Then gather in the circle again and talk about our story time today and tell the children that forgiving others is easier when we have “walked in their shoes”.
