Materials Needed:

  • Internet access

As your students enter the classroom, ask them to tell about pets they own now or have owned in the past:

  • Tell us about what kind of pets you have or had. What are some funny things that your pets do/did? (Give students an opportunity to share briefly.)
  • How does your pet show that he or she wants attention? (Answers might include: Barking, meowing, bringing a toy, or jumping on you.)

Pets can do a lot of really, really funny things. When pets want attention, they can become really, really pushy. See if you can spot the jealous pet in these videos!

Play this video for the students [3:43; stop at 1:50]:
The Most Jealous 😂 Pets These guys are so jealous 😂

  • Can you remember the last time you felt jealous? (Be prepared to give your own example to help students feel comfortable sharing.)

Jealousy can be funny when it’s something a pet is doing…but it’s no laughing matter when it comes to your daily life. When we are jealous of our friends, family, or acquaintances, it can poison our relationships and even make us do some really, really foolish stuff. Today’s lesson is all about what can happen when jealousy takes control.
