For many of us, listening is one of the key ways that we connect with the world. By learning to pay closer attention to the sounds around us, we can strengthen this connection and develop many vital life skills that come along with it.
In this lesson, learners will act out scenarios to differentiate between active and passive listening. They will practise listening closely to the sounds around them while also learning to deal with internal and external interruptions and regain their focus.
This resource has been designed for learners aged 11-16. It can be used as a standalone lesson for short PSHE education and form/pastoral sessions, or cherry-picked to incorporate into longer lessons.
The full resource and many more are available for free to UK-based teachers
who enrol on Into Film’s Mindfulness Through Film course. To register for the course please visit the Into Film, website and look at our training tab.
