2. ļ Activity:
ļ Teacher gives them different scenarios to reenact to
allow them to determine how they would respond to
challenges of forgiveness. Students create situations,
such as a friend wishing to shoplift, another group of
friends wanting to vandalize, peer pressure from a
crowd doing bad act that could challenge a child's
values. Discuss with students how they would react
to certain situations. Try to make the situations as
realistic as possible so the children get practice in
standing up for their value āforgivenessā.
3. ļ Activity:
ļ Make a Forgiveness Book': students
put together a book of blank pages
and staple it. Teacher Assist young
children in any of the areas that it is
needed. On the cover, students draw
a large heart and write the words
"forgiveness" or a phrase āIt takes a
strong person to say sorry, and an
ever stronger person to forgiveā.
Students can then draw pictures of
people, places, big and little things
about forgiveness. If they are too
young to print, you could print the
sentences they tell you about each
page. When it is finished they can
read it as often as they want. Then all
class does a reflection.
