DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

- Why is it usually important to try to get along with people, even if you don’t like them?

- Some kids think it’s funny if other kids get mad and yell at them. What do you think is the best way to deal with these kids?

- Trying to annoy kids is not a good way to join a game. What’s a friendlier way to join in?

- How do you decide when to go to a teacher or other adult about a problem with another kid and when to try to handle it yourself?
