Introduce the concept of 'pause and think' in terms of why it's important to stop, reflect and consider options before acting. Use questions to ask the students if they have ever wished they had stopped before doing something.

Explain what impulse control means. Ask the class if they can think of a time when they acted too quickly. Encourage discussion and sharing experiences.

Show scenarios or prompts. Use this slide as part of group reflection or a decision-making activity. Invite responses from the class about what could happen if we don't pause to think.

Wrap up the lesson. Summarize the main points and ask students to share one thing they learned about pausing before acting.
