Choices and Consequences

1. 1 Begin by explaining that every choice we make can have a result, and give a simple everyday example that students understand.
2. 2 Ask students to suggest one or two simple choices and discuss what might happen after each one.
3. 3 Put students into small groups and give each group a short situation, such as being late for school or forgetting homework.
4. 4 Ask groups to discuss two possible choices in that situation.
5. 5 Encourage them to think about what could happen after each choice, both good and bad.
6. 6 Walk around the class and support groups by asking guiding questions such as 'What happens next?' or 'Is this a good result?'.
7. 7 Invite each group to share their situation, choices, and consequences with the class.
8. 8 Finish by discussing how thinking ahead can help people make better decisions.
