Procedures

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 keep them from hurting themselves, from hurting someone else, or from having a negative impact.

Using the worksheet, students cut out the seed and "plant a what if seed" that will help each child remember to pause and think before acting.
