ACTIVITY 1

WORLDLY WORDS

Work on some skills using metaphor and choosing words carefully with this fun,
challenging exercise. Imagine you live in a world where there are only 10 words you can
ever use. You can repeat them as much as you want, but you can't ever use any other
words. Write down the 10 words you'd choose. Next, make sentences with them in order
to communicate something to your group. Use feeling and gesture to help them
understand you. You can measure their understanding by writing your actual intended
meaning below the sentence. Remember, you've only got 10 words to use, so choose
them well!

1. Nurse
2. Help
3. Pain
4. Safe
5. Care
6. Stop
7. You
8. Me
9. Good
10. Bad

ACTIVITY 2

TALK IT OUT

Time for some great debates! In this exercise, students will leam the importance of being
able to take a stance on an issue and defending that stance with logic, reasoning,
knowledge, and common sense. Below is a list of scenarios to present for students to
discuss and debate. They are based primarily on ethics and morality. They will encourage
students to take a stand and defend their viewpoint. These can be done in pain, but are
much more compelling in larger class debates where views are divided. They can also be
used as individual worksheets-students can circle an answer and then explain their
choice in writing.

1. Richard finds an expensive looking ring in the school hallway one day. It has no name on it,
and it's not near anyone's locker. A) Give it to lost and found B) Ask if it belongs to anyone
there C) Keep it and not say anything

Explanation:
The ring is not his, and someone may be looking for it. Keeping it would be stealing, even if no
one is around. Turning it into the lost and found gives the rightful owner the best chance of
getting it back. It shows honesty and respect for others’ property.

2. Judy's friend is stressed about an upcoming test. Judy already took the test and got 100%, so
she knows all the answers already Should she: A) Just give the answers to her friend B) Use
her knowledge to coach her friend. C) Not get involved at all
Explanation:
Giving answers directly is cheating, and both Judy and her friend could get into trouble. But
helping her study is honest and kind. It helps her friend learn and succeed on her own. That’s
real friendship supporting someone without breaking the rules.

3. Coach Nelson has caught two of his star basketball players vandalizing school property. The
rule is that they must be suspended. If that happens their team loses the upcoming semi-finals.
If the coach keeps quiet they'll surely win, but he could lose his job. Should the coach: A)
Suspend the two players and obey the rules B) Pretend he never saw them

Explanation:
Even though the team might lose, breaking the rules sets a bad example. If the coach protects
them, it sends the message that talent is more important than integrity. Following the rules holds
students accountable and teaches responsibility something more valuable than a trophy.

4. Nick overhears two students bragging about having posted some inappropriate images of a
female student online for a joke Should he: A) Mind his own business B) Report the incident to
the school principal Confront the boys and defend

Explanation:
What the boys did is wrong and could seriously hurt the girl. This is bullying and possibly illegal.
Nick should not confront them himself, it could be dangerous. But telling a trusted adult, like the
principal, is the right thing to do. Speaking up protects others and shows courage.
ACTIVITY 3

Put in your own creative wording for each of these images. You can write some dialog
between the characters, write a single-line caption, or tum the image into a clever meme.
Keep it short and witty!
ACTIVITY 4

MEANINGS IN MIND

Write one sentence to explain what each common image or symbol means to you. The
idea here is to move away from conventional meanings and relate to the images
personally

1. Peace symbol
-​ This reminds me of lying under the trees on a quiet day, with no noise, no stress just the
sound of the wind and my own thoughts.

2. Raised fist
-​ It makes me think of moments when I wanted to give up but stood strong anyway, even if
my voice shook or my hands trembled.

3. Dove
-​ To me, this feels like the calm that comes after crying, a soft moment where everything
finally feels okay again.

4. Skull
-​ This reminds me that life doesn’t last forever, so I should spend more time laughing,
exploring, and being with people I love.

5. Shield
-​ This makes me think of the people who protect me, not with words, but just by being
there when I need them the most.
ACTIVITY 5

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?

This exercise is designed to help you think laterally and discover new ways of looking at
the world. Answer these questions using creative and constructive thinking. You can use
as much detail as you like. For fun, try to think of your own "What Would Happen?
questions!

What would happen if there were no computers, tablets, or phones anywhere on Earth?
-​ Everyone would initially be confused and possibly afraid. We wouldn't know how to
communicate with distant people or carry out our daily tasks like working and attending
school. In the absence of their phones, some people may feel lost. But eventually, we
would have more in-person conversations. We would visit, write letters, and play outside.
In some ways, life would be more difficult, but without screens, we might grow closer and
more interconnected.

What would happen if we had to live in a world without electricity?

-​ At first, it would be very difficult. Lights, fans, phones, TVs, and the internet would all be
absent. It would be quiet and dark at night. To see, we would require fire or candles. We
would use gas or wood to cook, and we would use various methods to keep food fresh.
However, we might also talk and play games together more often. More people would be
outside, and perhaps we would be more appreciative of the small things in life.

What would happen if you woke up one day as a cartoon character?

-​ I would be taken aback and perhaps a little afraid. My body may be funny-looking or
stretchy. People may stare at me strangely or laugh. However, it could also be enjoyable
to be a cartoon. I could run quickly, jump high, or do foolish things without getting hurt. I
would make an effort to cheer people up and create dull places with happiness. Perhaps
I could even go on adventures like to those in cartoons and provide crazy assistance to
others.

What would happen if all animals could talk to us in our language?

-​ Since every animal would attempt to speak, it would start out noisy. Ants, dogs, cats, and
birds However, it would also be awesome. Birds may sing authentic songs, and dogs
may express their love for us. We may ask about the needs and emotions of animals.
Perhaps we would care for them better and learn more about nature. We could treat
animals more kindly and develop closer friendships with them.
ACTIVITY 6
EXPLAIN YOURSELF

How would you describe the following things and their sensations to someone who had
never seen or experienced them before? Use all your senses in your descriptions!

• A bunch of flowers

Flowers are soft and bright. They grow in grass and come in many colors. They smell
nice, like candy or soap. Looking at them makes you smile. Sometimes, little bugs sit on
them.

• An automobile

A car is something you ride in to go places. It has doors, windows, and seats. It moves
fast and makes a loud sound. The inside can feel warm and soft. Riding in a car feels fun
like a mini trip.

• A rainstorm

Rain falls from the clouds like tiny drops. The ground gets wet and cold. You can hear
the rain tap and the sky boom. The smell is fresh, like clean earth. Sometimes, you want
to watch it from a window.

• A laptop computer

A laptop is a small computer you can carry. It opens like a book. You can press buttons
to write or play games. The screen shows pictures and words. It helps you learn and
have fun.

• A piece of chocolate

Chocolate is a sweet snack. It is hard at first but melts in your mouth. It smells yummy
and tastes very good. It can be dark or light. Eating it makes people happy.

• A rock concert

A rock concert is a music show with loud songs. People sing, dance, and cheer. Lights
blink and flash everywhere. The music is strong and fast. It feels like a big party.

• A hug from someone

A hug is when someone wraps their arms around you. It feels warm and nice. Hugs
make you feel safe and loved. You might smell their clothes. Hugs are good when you’re
sad or happy.
• A favourite place of yours

My favorite place is quiet and nice. It makes me feel calm and happy. I like how it looks
and smells. I always want to be there. It feels like home to me.

ACTIVITY 7

YOU KNOW THE RULES

The rules and laws we have in life are meant to guide us and protect us, and to keep
order in our society Imagine that you get to make 3 rules that everyone in the world must
follow What rules would you make and why

Rule No. 1: Think before you act or speak.

-​ I chose this rule because many problems start when people act too quickly without
thinking. Sometimes we say mean things out of anger or do things we regret later
because we didn’t stop to think first. If everyone took just a few seconds to pause and
ask, “Is this kind? Is this fair? Could this hurt someone?” the world would be more
peaceful. This rule could stop a lot of fights, broken friendships, and mistakes. It teaches
us to use our minds before our mouths or hands. A small moment of thinking can make a
big difference in what happens next.

Rule No. 2: Learn how to handle conflict calmly.

-​ I chose this rule because it’s normal to disagree, but not everyone knows how to deal
with conflict the right way. Many people shout, blame, or even hurt others when they’re
upset. But if we learned to stay calm, listen, and speak kindly during arguments, we
could solve problems without causing pain. This rule would help people learn patience,
respect, and better communication. It would make families stronger, friendships last
longer, and even help leaders avoid war. Solving problems doesn’t need to be loud, it
just needs to be fair and respectful.

Rule No. 3: Speak up if something is wrong.

-​ I chose this rule because too many people stay quiet when they see something wrong,
like bullying, unfair treatment, or someone in danger. Sometimes they’re scared or think
it’s not their job to help. But silence allows bad things to continue. This rule would teach
people to use their voice to stand up for what’s right, even if it’s hard. Speaking up can
protect others, stop harm, and make people feel less alone. It doesn’t mean starting a
fight, it means being brave enough to care. The world would be safer and kinder if more
people had the courage to say, “That’s not okay.”
ACTIVITY 8

with des. This exercise in creative visualization in the space below, sketch out an idea for
an invention or a concept you think would be cool. Some ideas are provided, but feel free
to come up with your own
ACTIVITY 9
MAKING CHOICES

Part of life is being able to strike a healthy balance between our needs and our wants. It's
also about focus on what we consider to be truly important. Imagine you can have any 3
things that you want in return you give away three things that you already have. What do
you want and what will you give away, and why?

What I Choose to Have

1.​ To become a licensed nurse and doctor

2.​ A healthy and happy family
3.​ A chance to travel the world

What I Would Give Away

1.​ Clothes I don’t wear

2.​ Fear of failing
3.​ Pressure

I would want these things because:

-​ Becoming a licensed nurse and doctor has always been my biggest dream. It’s
something I’ve wanted since I was young because I love helping people and want to
make a difference in their lives. I also want my family to stay healthy and happy, because
their love and support mean everything to me, they are my source of strength. Lastly, I
wish to travel the world so I can experience new places, meet different people, learn
from other cultures, and see the beauty of life beyond what I already know.

I would give up these things because:

-​ The clothes I don’t wear are just extra things that I no longer need, they don’t add value
to my life anymore. I want to let go of my fear of failing, because it often stops me from
trying and believing in myself. I also want to let go of the pressure I put on myself to be
perfect all the time. By giving these things up, I believe I can grow stronger, stay focused
on what truly matters, and open the door to better opportunities and a more meaningful
life.
