The prince and his family certainly were fooled by the appearance of the rain drenched princess that showed up at their door. But a single detail, the pea under the many mattresses, revealed her sensitive and royal nature.
After listening to this story, discuss with the class;
- Something or someone that could fool us with a first impression, i.e. A new student in school that is quiet and keeps to themselves perhaps they are friendly but shy at first.
- Why did the prince place the pea under the mattress?
- Empathy is another topic that can be discussed. How did the Princess feel when no one believed who she was?
- Ask the students to find out about sensitivity in their own and their classmates lives. Ask them “What are you sensitive about? What is your friend sensitive about?”
