Materials “The rewards of kindness” (page 78-79),index cardsr small slips of paper, small sweets (optional) Time 30 minutes
PROCEDURE
Write on the board the quotations from page 79: “We gain by being generous towards those around us” and “A lot of people would agree that it is more fun to give away a present that is appreciated than it is to receive a fine present yourself”.
Ask the students to discuss the quotations in pairs.
Pass out one slip of paper or index card to each student. Ask each student to write one “random act of kindness” that can be performed at work.
The students now have ten minutes to mingle, exchange the cards with the acts of kindness, and practise various ways to express gratitude or accept thanks.
Now hold a short feedback session. Pass out the sweets at the end of the lesson.
