We work on resilience through the story "After the fall" by Dan Santat



Here's the story of Humpty Dumpty, an egg who loved to sit on the wall to do birdwatching. But one day he fell down from the wall, and in this story, we will discover if he is able to get de courage to get back up on the wall. 

So it's perfect to work on resilience with our little students. After watching the video we can foster dialogue and reflection about what they do when, for example, they fall down in recess time, what's their attitude and how they feel.

In addition, we can work on oral and listening skills among our students by singing the popular nursery rhyme about the story of Humpty Dumpty.

Here you can have the lyrics to teach our students and work on vocabulary in multiple sessions until they learn it.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
couldn’t put Humpty together again.

couldn’t put Humpty together again.

Finally, here's a worksheet for those students that have started their writing process to practice some words that appear in the song

  2. This is a great activity to encourage communication by speaking about what happens when we fall, it certainly is a big issue in our Early Years students, and it will be very interesting to know their different points of view, and guide through attitudes to overcome them. This activity is completed by a song that children usually enjoy ver much singing, it is very challenging to learn, and it is also a beautiful traditional nursery rhyme, and a worksheet to learn the vocabulary so it involves many different skills all in one, thank you for sharing it.
