Guiding questions

(These are “in-game” micro-prompts. One short response, then continue.)

Colour Categories linked to Connectedness sub-skills

You can use 5–6 colours and assign each one to a connectedness category:

  1. RED – Belonging (“I’m part of us”)
  • “Say one thing that makes our team feel like a team.”
  • “Name one way we include everyone.”
  1. BLUE – Empathy and Respect (“I notice you”)
  • “Choose someone and say: ‘I noticed you…’ (helped/kept calm/gave a good idea).”
  • “How might a teammate feel right now—excited, nervous, calm, frustrated?”
  1. GREEN – Support and Solidarity (“I’ve got you”)
  • “Ask your buddy: ‘Do you want a tip or encouragement?’”
  • “Say one supportive sentence to the Builder.”
  1. YELLOW – Shared Responsibility (“We take care”)
  • “What is one fair rule we are following right now?”
  • “What do we do if someone makes a mistake?” (one sentence)
  1. ORANGE – Community and Wider World (“We are connected”)
  • “Name one community you belong to (class/family/team/neighbourhood).”
  • “One thing we share with kids in other countries is…” (food, games, feelings, school)
  1. PURPLE – People and Nature Connection (“We share a home”) (secondary skill link)
  • “Name one way we can care for our classroom/playground like a shared home.”
  • “One small action that helps nature and people is…”

Super quick option for younger kids:

Instead of speaking, they can point to a poster choice (Belonging / Support / Fairness / Nature).”
