KiwiCan Term 2 Week 1

How do you show integrity each day?



Term 2 has started and so has our new KiwiCan theme of Integrity. Some of us weren't 100% sure about what integrity meant, but after today we had a better idea.

Our Fruit Salad energiser was heaps of fun and helped us see the way that we can show integrity when we play games. When we just focus on ourselves and not others we can ensure that we play fair and honestly, and if we got it wrong we sat out.

We discussed what a good choice was compared to a bad choice. As an example we mentioned standing up for ourselves and others like if someone is being bullied we don't just sit back but we say something to help the situation. A bad choice would be stealing a chocolate bar but we could still show integrity by deciding to fix the situation and take it back to wherever we got it from.
We then did an activity called Air Rescue which was similar to tag but involved more teamwork, and also meant we needed to show integrity by being honest and stopping if we were tagged.

Our challenge for the week (and for every week!) is to make good choices - even when that might be the harder option.

Our discussion question was: How can you tell the difference between a good choice and a bad choice? We think that when you make a bad choice it not only can make others feel bad, but you get a bad feeling yourself when you know you haven't made the right choice.  There are some questions you can ask yourself if you are trying to decide whether a choice is good or bad.  How is this going to make me feel? Proud, Sad, Guilty, Excited, Brave, Disappointed, Nervous. How is this going to make others feel?   How would my mother/grandmother feel if they could see the choi...
