Description
This empathy activity and perspective-taking class lesson is a fun, interactive, and impactful way to teach empathy and perspective-taking! Begin with a PowerPoint introducing the idea of putting yourself in other people's shoes, then have students practice with a feelings activity.
In the following lesson, students work in pairs or groups throughout an empathy obstacle course, completing missions at 5 different stations. These hands-on stations help put students in the shoes of those who have difficulty staying focused, are blind or have poor sight, have one arm or a broken arm, and are in a difficult social or home situation. Students will also reflect on the terms of empathy, sympathy, and perspective-taking through a poster activity, and will reflect on the overall obstacle course at the end of this lesson.
The obstacle course requires 60 minutes total, and can be broken down into multiple sessions.
This download includes:
- Introduction PowerPoint
- Feelings activity pieces
- Color-coded materials for 5 stations, all available in black and white as well to print on colored paper:
- 1 yellow station direction sign and 6 task cards
- 1 purple station direction sign and 3 poster labels
- 1 blue station direction sign (this station students are blindfolded and walk through an actual obstacle course!)
- 1 green station direction sign, 5 scenario cards, answer packet
- 1 red station direction sign, 6 task cards, 6 distraction cards, answer packet
- Obstacle course reflection packet

Pro Tip: For any obstacle course or center-type lesson, modeling each station/center beforehand and using a louder timer or call back can make a world of difference! By modeling, students should be able to use each station/center without having to ask for help, and you will be able to determine they are following the directions correctly.
