Walk in Their Shoes

This worksheet guides students through creating and performing a short empathy-based skit. Learners choose a scenario involving someone feeling upset or left out, then write dialogue that shows how characters can respond with kindness. After writing the skit, students perform it while focusing on caring tone, eye contact, and supportive body language. Reflection questions help learners think about how empathy was shown, how the supported character felt, and how these skills can transfer to real-life interactions. This activity builds emotional intelligence, acting skills, and relationship-building strategies.
