Connection and community lessons
Help your students identify the communities they belong to
As well as learning how to empathise with peers and positively contribute to and strengthen their communities.
The community bundle includes 5 x 1 hour lessons that we recommend running as a series over a couple of weeks. This could also run as a class project or by selecting activities to "mix and match" to best suit your classroom's learning needs, styles and interests!
