Welcome to Pause and Think

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.

What is Impulse Control?

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.

Think Before You Act!

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.

Reflection Time

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