Define good and bad touches, identify possible perpetrators, explain reporting and avoidance strategies
Previous Knowledge
Students already know the concept of personal boundaries and safe vs unsafe behavior
Instructional Materials
Posters, role-play cards, videos demonstrating good and bad touches
Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Teacher asks: “What does it mean to have a safe touch?” Learners share ideas.
B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)
Time: 25–30 minutes
Learners’ Activities (Expanded):
- Learners observe diagrams or illustrations showing appropriate (good) and inappropriate (bad) touches.
- Learners discuss examples of good touches, such as hugs from parents, high-fives from friends, or handshakes from teachers.
- Learners discuss bad touches, such as unwanted touching of private parts, forced hugs, or physical harm.
- Learners participate in role-play scenarios demonstrating how to respond safely to bad touches: saying “No,” moving away, and telling a trusted adult immediately.
- Learners work in pairs or small groups to brainstorm possible perpetrators of bad touches (strangers, acquaintances, or even adults) and ways to avoid risky situations.
- Learners create a safety poster showing the difference between good and bad touches, including steps to take if a bad touch occurs.
Assessment Checks:
- Teacher asks: “Give one example of a good touch.” (Expected answer: Hug from a family member, handshake from teacher)
- Teacher asks: “Give one example of a bad touch.” (Expected answer: Touching private parts without permission, unwanted physical contact)
- Teacher observes learners’ participation in role-play and group discussions to ensure understanding.
Notes (Expanded & Detailed):
- Good touches: Safe, caring, and make you feel comfortable. Examples: handshakes, hugs from family, pats on the back.
- Bad touches: Unwanted, cause discomfort, fear, or harm. Examples: touching private parts, hitting, or forcing hugs.
- Safety measures:
- Say “No” clearly
- Move away from the situation
- Tell a trusted adult immediately
- Avoid being alone with strangers
- Key points for learners:
- Everyone has the right to say “No” to unwanted touch
- Reporting bad touches is important to stay safe
- Understanding the difference helps prevent abuse
Assignment/Homework:
- Draw a poster showing one good touch and one bad touch and how to respond to each.
- Write a short paragraph explaining why it is important to tell a trusted adult about bad touches.
- Role-play at home with a family member or friend how to say “No” safely in case of a bad touch.
