What if Everybody did that Activity | Responsible Decision Making | Back to School | School Counselor Lessons
"What If Everybody Did That?" by Ellen Javernick is a book that sparks empathy, critical thinking, and owning up to our actions. In this mentor text activity, each student gets a puzzle piece, one of 36 with different prompts inspired by the book. Then, they dive into imagining what would happen if everyone did the thing on their puzzle piece. They can write or draw their ideas about how it would play out. By exploring these "what if" scenarios, students get a deeper understanding of empathy, taking responsibility, and why every little action counts. It's a great way to learn while having a blast!
