Let’s change perspective

An effective and pleasant programme for kindergarten children to promote perspective taking: the ability to understand thoughts, feelings, perceptions and, in general, points of view different from one’s own.  It offers practical worksheets, easily usable in schools, designed to transform daily activities into opportunities for promoting and developing the ability to understand the perspective of others.

The training consists of 20 lessons to be conducted on different days, aimed at enhancing three components of the ability to put yourself in the shoes of others:

• perception: What does my friend see from his/her position?
• cognition: What knowledge does that person have about a particular situation?
• emotion: How do others feel in this situation?

The materials
This colourful volume contains material to be photocopied and cut out, using games to stimulate and accompany the children on a discovery of different perspectives, thoughts and emotions of themselves and others.
