Role play exercises gives students the opportunity to assume the role of a person or act out a given situation. This activity will give the student, you, an opportunity to write a short script for a possible real-life scenario where a child may be acting out and using one of the guiding principles listed below to help build relationships with children in our care.
You will find the Guidance Methods and their definitions on the lefthand side under the tab labeled “Textbooks”. The following guidance methods you will be selecting one from will be
• I-message
• Set limits
• Negotiation
• Choices
• Contingency
• Consequences
You should have a minimum of two children within your video to demonstrate an interaction that would require one of the guidance methods to be used to solve the issue.
The script should include the following:
Setting: Where is this taking place? (Classroom, outside on the playground, block area, kitchen, etc.)
What is the problem? Give a brief example of what the issue/problem is between the two children (2-3 sentences will be enough)
Guidance Method: What guidance method is being used? Identify it here
Script – See the second page for an example.
