Activities in this Lesson
- Responsibilities - Hooks / Set
Have the whiteboard at the front of the room sectioned off into 2 areas that are labeled "YES" and "NO". Have numerous magnets on the whiteboard for the students' use.
On each table/desk have 3 parenting responsibilities printed out on individual pieces of paper.
The students are to place each of the 3 responsibilities on their table/desk in the area of the whiteboard where they think it belongs.
NOTE: It's okay if some of them are duplicates as that will stimulate discussion among the group if some think it is a necessity/responsibility and some disagree.
