TALK TO YOUR KIDS
ABOUT BEING
GIFTED

1. Don't be afraid to fall in love with something and
pursue it with intensity.
2. Know, understand, take pride in, practice, develop,
exploit and enjoy your greatest strengths.
3. Learn to free yourself from the expectations of
others and to walk away from the games they impose
on you. Free yourself to play your own game.
4. Find a great teacher or mentor who will help you.
5. Don't waste energy trying to be well rounded.
6. Do what you love and can do well.
7. Learn the skills of interdependence.
MANIFESTO:
A Guide for Developing a Creative Career

8GREAT GRIPES
1. No one explains what being gifted is all about --
it's kept a big secret.

2. The stuﬀ we do in school is too easy, and it's boring.

3. Parents, teachers and friends expect us to be
perfect, to "do our best" all the time.

4. Kids often tease us about being smart.

5. Friends who really understand us are few and far
between.

6. We feel too diﬀerent and wish people would accept
us for what we are.

7. We feel overwhelmed by the number of things we can
do in life.

8. We worry a lot about world problems and feel
helpless to do anything about them.

“Learning to
write programs
stretches your
mind and helps
you think
better, creates a
way of thinking
about things that I
think is helpful in
all domains.”

Imposing
limits can
encourage
a creative
response.

“Gifted means you have abilities to do stuﬀ others may not be able to do, even if they are not
easy. This tree is growing in the shade under a step….that’s not easy.”

“As a gifted learner I feel that I am diﬀerent;
I am a leader; and I am powerful!”

“We all have an impact on the world.
Although we’re small, someday we
will do something great. It means to
be inspiring, creative, helpful, and smart.
Although being gifted has its problems,
Being gifted is very special.”

“Giftedness is
being diﬀerent in
your own way and
to capture
beautiful moments
in life for
something cool.
Then your
diﬀerences will
shine!”

“Giftedness
means you can
be talented in
some things but
not at others;
you swing back
and forth at the
things you are
good at and the
things you are
not.”

Suggested meeting time: 30-60 minutes (Some of you may choose to combine
this meeting with meeting #2.)

!
Before the meeting:
● Create a TED-Ed (ed.ted.com) account if you haven’t already. All members
over 13 should aim to have their own account.

● Watch the first TED-Ed Club Lesson (http://ed.ted.com/on/vaY6FipN). Your
group can choose to do this before or during the meeting.
!
Guiding questions
● What is your name? How would you describe yourself? What are three
things you are passionate about?

● What do you and your club members hope to get out of your TED-Ed Club
experience?

!
Materials
● A device to take pictures

● Index cards

● Pens

● Copies of this guidebook (one for each member)

!
Meeting activities
● Take a few minutes to create a name badge on an index card. Write your
name and at least 3 things that you are passionate about.

● Gather in small groups and introduce yourself to your fellow club members.
Learn each other’s names and get to know each other.

● Share your reasons for joining a TED-ED Club with the group. Let people
know what you’re interested in and what you’re passionate about. This will
help your club members give meaningful feedback when you begin
developing your presentation idea.

!
What will you have created by the end of your meeting?
A name badge that lists 3 things you are passionate about. You will bring this to
future meetings so that everyone in the club knows your name and interests.

!
After meeting #1:
● Browse through the TED Talks (www.ted.com) /TED-Ed Lessons (ed.ted.com)
to find ideas that speak to your passions.

● Facilitator: Please send a photo of the name badges from different club
members to TED-Ed at TEDEdClubs@ted.com.

#1 Introduction week: What’s your passion?
It’s tough to give a good presentation on a topic that you’re not passionate about! This meeting is
all about getting to know your fellow club members and spending some time identifying and
articulating the ideas that motivate each member of your group. Later on, each club member will
present and record their own idea worth spreading in the form of a short TED-style Talk.
