Procedures

The Respect Worksheet can be used standalone, or with the book "What if":

Stand alone- Explain Respect

To explain more about respect, see the "What is Respect" Definition for kids or the Respect Presentaion which covers what respect is, why it matters, and ways to show respect.

Using the worksheet, students read scenarios and match them with answers that explain why the action is respectful or disrespectful. Students can write in answers or use the fillable fields to type their answers.

Story-based Activity

This activity is based on the book, "What if?" where a wise old tree teaches two children to pause and ask "What if?" before they act or speak. The tree teaches the children that taking a moment to think of outcomes or consequences can help them choose a more respectful way to treat others, and themselves.

See a full lesson plan for the story plus worksheet.
