Independence - EYFS PSHE

Independence EYFS PSHE lesson.

A detailed, fully resourced PSHE lesson suitable for EYFS/Reception age children. This lesson has been designed for use with children in Reception, however, the PowerPoint and activities could be adapted for use with other age groups.

In this lesson, the children will learn about independence and different ways that they can start to become more independent. The children will learn the importance of trying to do things on their own, even if they struggle at first. We will discuss jobs or roles that children can start to try for themselves, such as managing personal needs and doing chores at home. We will also highlight that for safety reasons, some jobs or activities should only be done by adults.

The lesson includes a sing-along starter (to ensure a swift start to the lesson), a story with accompanying questions, an adult-led focus task, independent activities to be carried out during continuous provision, and a plenary task.

Created to fit the new DfE and PSHE Association statutory 2020 /21 guidelines, the lesson includes a detailed PowerPoint, all editable with accompanying tasks and worksheets.

The lesson has been left editable and is filled with engaging activities. It is designed to be ‘no prep’, so you can just pick it up and use it, although it is still adaptable should you wish to.
