Piggie’s New Word – Back to School Language Lesson & Coloring | Elephant Piggie
Looking for a fun, thoughtful way to introduce classroom behavior expectations and respectful language? This Piggie and Gerald-inspired mini-lesson is the perfect first week of school activity — or an easy, low-prep substitute plan that encourages discussion, empathy, and community building from day one.
In this engaging story, Piggie discovers a mysterious new word… but it turns out to be an inappropriate one! With the help of Gerald (and your students!), Piggie learns about how words make others feel — and what to do when we make a mistake.
This resource includes:
✅ A ready-to-use lesson plan
✅ Guided discussion questions on language, feelings, and school-appropriate words
✅ Creative student writing and role-play activity options
✅ Optional extension ideas for building a “Respect Wall”
✅ A great opportunity to establish your classroom norms in a non-judgmental, playful way
