101 WAYS TO TEACH CHILDREN SOCIAL SKILLS 4
Learning Objective: To recognize personal values and why they are
important to an individual; to allow other members of
the group to get to know each other
Skill: Self-awareness, awareness of differences
Ask the children to define “values.” Listen to their answers and write them
on the blackboard or a large sheet of paper.
When everyone has had a turn, tell the group:
A value is a personal belief or feeling that something is important and
worthwhile. It can be something you love to do, a way you choose to
live your life, or even an idea. People have their own values; there are
no right or wrong ones. Without your even thinking about it, values
guide the way you behave and your decisions in life.
Using Activity Sheet 3, give examples of different values. Ask the children to
think about their personal values, and then distribute the activity sheet.
After they have completed the activity sheet, have several children choose
one of their most important values and discuss why they feel it is important.
