How To Run It

  1. Write short situations on cards before the activity.
  2. Explain that the goal is to practice kind responses, not to embarrass anyone.
  3. Let pairs or small groups choose a card and plan a short role-play.
  4. Have each group act out the problem and a kind solution.
  5. Ask the audience what choice helped the situation improve.
  6. Repeat with a few scenarios and close with one choice children can use this week.
