Decision-Making Dilemmas

"Decision-Making Dilemmas" activity. This activity involves presenting children with hypothetical scenarios and encouraging them to make decisions based on the information provided. It's a great way to teach them about the decision-making process and its consequences.

*Objective:* This activity helps children practice decision-making, weigh pros and cons, and understand the consequences of their choices.

*Instructions:*

1. *Prepare Scenario Cards:* Create scenario cards with age-appropriate dilemmas. Each card should describe a situation where the child has to make a decision. For example:


   - You found a lost puppy on your way home. What do you do?

   - You have $10 to spend. Would you buy a toy, save it, or share it with a friend?

   - Your friend wants to copy your homework. What should you do?


2. *Group Discussion:* Gather the children in a circle and explain that you're going to discuss some decision-making dilemmas. Start by reading one of the scenario cards aloud.


3. *Encourage Discussion:* After presenting the scenario, encourage the children to discuss it. Ask questions like:

   

   - What would you do in this situation?

   - Why do you think that's a good choice?

   - Can anyone think of other options?

   - What might happen if you make that choice?


4. *Individual or Group Decisions:* Let each child or a small group of children discuss and make their decisions for the presented scenario. They can take turns sharing their choices and reasoning.


5. *Discuss Consequences:* After each scenario, discuss the potential consequences of different choices. Encourage children to consider both positive and negative outcomes.


6. *Rotate Scenarios:* Continue to read and discuss different scenario cards, allowing children to practice decision-making skills and explore various situations.


7. *Reflect and Summarize:* At the end of the activity, summarize what they've learned about decision-making. Emphasize that it's okay to make mistakes and that decisions should be based on values, ethics, and the potential outcomes.
