Materials Needed:
Paper
Marker
Game markers, such as small toys
A die (or small pieces of paper marked with the numbers 1, 2, 3)
Directions:
Draw a game board path on a sheet of paper. To do this, make a winding path, then divide the path into sections. Make sure there is a clear START and FINISH.
On several sections of the game board, write the words "What Should You Do?"
Invite your child to play a game of "What Should You Do?" with you. First, you should each choose a game marker and place it on start. To play, you can roll a die. (If you don't have a die, write the numbers 1, 2, and 3 on small pieces of paper and put them into a bowl.) Move the matching number of spaces on the game board.
If you land on a "What Should You Do?" square, make up a situation where your child might have to do what she believes is right and not follow others. Here are some examples:
Your friends want to climb a tree, but you can see that the branch is shaky.
A kid in school tells you to take out a toy after your teacher has told you to put it away.
Your big brother tells you to draw on your bedroom wall.
Another kid asks you to eat something that you're not sure is good to eat.
