After this game, students should be able to:
- Show stronger buddy behaviours: encouraging others, taking turns fairly, helping without taking over.
- Use simple emotion words (“nervous,” “excited,” “frustrated,” “proud”) and calming strategies (breathing, asking for help).
- Demonstrate belonging language: “We can do this,” “Let’s try together,” “Good idea,” “I’ll help.”
- Respect differences in confidence and ability (steady hands, careful planning, reading aloud, etc.).
- Repair socially after mistakes (no blaming; supportive reflection; rebuild together).
- Make a basic connection that communities work because people depend on each other and care for shared spaces (and that this extends to caring for nature too).
