Introductory Activity: When Screens Take Over (15 min) Description: Setting the tone for a safe, non-judgmental space. The teacher introduces the concept that screen time affects our bodies, emotions, and relationships—and that awareness is the first step toward balance. Activity: "Think of a Time" Reflection • Teacher Introduction (3 min): • Welcome students and establish classroom norms: "This is a safe space for honest reflection. There are no 'right' or 'wrong' answers. We're here to understand ourselves better, not to judge." • Briefly share a relatable personal example: "Sometimes I notice that after scrolling on my phone for too long, my eyes feel tired and I feel a bit grumpy. Has anyone ever felt something like that?" • Individual Reflection (4 min): • Teacher reads aloud: "Think about a time when screen use left you feeling tired, stressed, or disconnected. How did it affect your body? Your mood? Your relationships?" • Students write or draw ONE word or image representing how they felt on a sticky note (or digital board). • Interactive Element (8 min): • Students place their sticky notes on a shared board, grouping similar feelings. • Teacher facilitates brief discussion: "What patterns do we notice? Are there common feelings?" • Introduce the key insight: "Screen time isn't 'good' or 'bad'—but without awareness, it can affect us in ways we don't even notice. Today, we'll learn how to recognize these effects and build healthier habits." Materials: Sticky notes (or digital collaboration tool), marker, display board. 2.
