Life Skills - Term 4 - Week 3

Decision making is the process of choosing between different options. Every day, we make decisions, big and small. For example, we decide what to eat for breakfast or whether to play outside or inside. Making healthy choices means selecting options that are good for our bodies and minds. Today, we will learn how to make good decisions by discussing different scenarios.

Let's look at a scenario: 'You are at a party, and there are many snacks. You see chips and fruit. What should you choose?' As a class, we will discuss the options. Choosing fruit is a healthy decision because it gives us energy and vitamins. We will talk about why making healthy choices is important for our health and how it affects our daily lives.

Now, let's practice making decisions through role-playing. I will divide you into small groups and give each group a scenario. For example, 'You are feeling tired after school. Should you take a nap or play video games?' Each group will discuss their scenario and decide on the best choice. Afterward, we will share our decisions with the class and explain why we made those choices.

To wrap up our lesson, I want each of you to think about a decision you can make to be healthier or more respectful. Write down one small goal you want to achieve this week. It could be drinking more water, being kind to a friend, or helping at home. We will share our goals with a partner and support each other in achieving them.
