Slide Deck

Choices and Consequences

Introduce the topic with enthusiasm. Explain that today we're going to learn about how our choices lead to different outcomes. Ask the students if they ever made a choice and what happened next.

What is a Choice?

Define what a 'choice' is in simple terms. Ask students to think of a time they chose something, like choosing a snack or a game.

A Simple Scenario

Present an easy-to-understand scenario. For instance: 'Sharing your toy' versus 'Keeping it all to yourself.' Ask guiding questions: 'What might happen if you share?' and 'What if you don't?'

Consequences of Choices

Discuss the idea of consequences. Explain that choices lead to consequences—sometimes good, sometimes not so good. Use simple language and visuals to illustrate.

Let's Practice!

Engage students in an interactive activity. Explain a short role-play or decision-making game where they can act out making a choice and seeing the result.

Recap and Reflect

Recap the lesson and ask students what they learned. Encourage them to share one thing they might do differently after understanding their choices.
