Wellbeing

Term 2, Week 7

Over the next few weeks, students will continue learning about Topic 4 from the Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships Initiative: Problem Solving. In this topic, students learn how to solve problems in various social situations. The activities students complete for this topic aim to help them manage conflict and challenges both at school and outside of school.

Activity

This week's activity is taken from the Year 3-4 resources. Students create a problem solving dice with many different options or strategies. You may like to use this at home: there is a template below for creating a dice with paper.

After making the dice you could test it on the following scenario: 

“I have to stay at my aunty’s house for a week while my parents go away. It is scary and dark in the bedroom and the house makes creaking noises. I don’t want to stay there.”

You may like to use the following prompts to continue the discussion. In what ways did the chosen strategy help the person deal with the problem? In what ways could it have been done differently? What other options might work?
