Developing Good Listening Skills

The lesson “Developing Good Listening Skills” helps children to further learn about the importance of effective and healthy interpersonal communication skills in developing positive relationships, specifically the communication skill of listening. The children demonstrate good eye contact, asking questions, repeating back what was heard, and responding supportively to comments made by others. Each child will also participate in listening prayer as he or she asks God to speak to his or her heart. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the 26th lesson in the 1st year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Communication Development” unit.
