What is Responsibility Worksheet

Procedures

The Responsibility Worksheet can be used standalone, with the book "What if", or with the What is responsibility? Presentation:

Stand alone- Explain Responsibility

To explain more about responsibility, see the "What is Responsibility" Definition for kids or the What is Responsibility? Presentation.

Using the worksheet, students read scenarios and decide what someone's responsibility is, whether they acted responsibly, and what some possible consequences are of their actions. Students can write in answers or use the fillable fields to type their answers.

Story-based Activity

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 them choose a more responsible way to treat others, and themselves.

See a full lesson plan for the story plus worksheet.
