Age Range: Elementary – High School<\/p>\n

This is a fun ad-lib activity you can do with your kids to practice finding better ways to say things and maybe even get some ideas from others!<\/p>\n

You can pick a few volunteers or have your kids operate as a team to come up with better ways to say these phrases. These are some sample comments, but feel free to throw in others that you hear often to give practical help to your kids!<\/p>\n

Sample “mean\/blunt” statements:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Your breath stinks!<\/li>\n
  2. You’re mean!<\/li>\n
  3. I’m angry with you!<\/li>\n
  4. I don’t want you to come.<\/li>\n
  5. You’re being selfish.<\/li>\n
  6. You’re being too loud!<\/li>\n
  7. You’re not my friend anymore!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Attached below is a PDF with these questions along with sample answers which the kids shouldn’t be limited to. The heart to love the other is the important ingredient to the answers they come up with!<\/p>\n
