Week 28 invites students to explore the powerful life skill of empathy, imagining how others feel, responding with care, and connecting through compassion. The week begins with Walk in Their Space Boots, a playful role-play activity where students step into someone else’s shoes and practise listening, kindness, and perspective-taking. Students then create their own Heart Glasses, decorating wearable symbols that remind them to “see with kindness” and notice when others might need support, comfort, or friendship.
The week continues with Mirror Me, a calm, focused movement game that helps students practise non-verbal empathy by watching closely, responding gently, and moving in sync with a partner. To finish, students express their compassion creatively through Caring Boots, tracing and decorating their own “empathy footprints” and filling them with the kind actions they want to take in their daily lives. Together, these activities help children understand that empathy is about listening with the heart, noticing others’ feelings, and taking caring steps forward. Week Eighteen, guided by Neptune’s emotional depth, reminds students that when we look deeper and act gently, we help calm storms, both in ourselves and in the people we care about.
