14 • MODULE TEN: REACHING MY GOALS: ENERGIZERS, WARM-UPS AND RELAXATION
ACTIVITY FOUR
Being Responsible
- Discuss that we are all responsible for what we do. Ask the children to think of the following
people’s responsibilities or make their own list. List one or two responsibilities.- Traffic policeman
- Teacher
- Doctor
- Father
- Student
- Brother
- Ask the children to play a “What if...” game. They must think of the responsibility they have
written. And say “What if...”- The traffic policeman did not...
- The teacher did not...
Review
Ask the children what they learned and liked about the session.
Linking Learning With Life
Ask the children to think of one or two of their responsibilities and how they could fulfill them
better. Ask a few to share with the group. Invite one of the people, such as a policeman or a
teacher, for a discussion with the group. Prepare them for the “out of the box” questions the
children may ask.
Experience from the field
The children enjoyed the examples from their own surroundings like traffic police and wanted to state
more than two responsibilities. To make the session more interactive, pictures of the policeman could be
used. Role-plays are useful too, but they take time. (Salaam Baalak Trust, Delhi).
