Activity Introduction
Quick summary: This lesson is based on Bluey, Season 2, Trains. It focuses on the capability of patience. Students use a train led by the teacher to take them between different free play stations, challenging their ability to wait as the train travels on a strict schedule that does not always suit students’ desire to move freely between activities and achieve instant gratification.
