The next thing you are going to discuss is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

First you explain to them about how every child has their own needs. These needs are divided in 5 and have a hierarchy, the lowest is the most important to fulfill first.

Now you can show them the empty pyramid. (You can download this in the bottom of this page.)

Tell them the 5 needs in a random order with a small explanation:

• Safety needs: security, safety
• Self-actualization needs: achieving’s one full potential, including creative activities
• Physiological needs: these are the things you need to survive, like water, food, air, clothes, …
• Esteem needs: prestige and feeling accomplishment
• Belongingness and love needs: intimate relationships and friends
