Values and Beliefs Reflection

Read the skate-park story. Then answer the questions. People can have different values and beliefs. Listen respectfully, and you do not have to share anything private.

A story about choices

Matilda, Dylan and Evie are waiting to use the small ramp at their local skate park. Matilda thinks taking turns is important because everyone should get a fair chance. Dylan believes wearing a helmet helps keep people safe, so he reminds his friends to put theirs on. Evie notices a younger child waiting nearby and suggests letting them have the next turn. The friends agree on a simple plan: helmets on, one person on the ramp at a time, and everyone gets a turn. They may care about different things, but they listen to one another and find a plan that works.

1.Choose the best meaning of a value. A value is...

Something a person thinks is important
A rule that is exactly the same in every family
A piece of equipment used at the skate park

2.What value does Matilda show when she says everyone should get a fair chance?

3.Dylan believes helmets help keep people safe. Is this an example of a belief, a value, or both? Explain your choice.

4.Evie suggests letting the younger child have the next turn.

6.Give one reason the friends were able to agree on a plan, even though they cared about different things.

7.A child at the skate park says, “I think taking turns is important.” What is the most respectful reply?

“That makes sense. What makes taking turns important to you?”
“That is silly. My idea is better.”
Walk away while they are talking.

8.Two friends both want to use the ramp first. Write one fair and safe way they could decide what to do.

9.Choose one value that matters to you, such as fairness, safety, kindness or teamwork. Describe one way you could show it at a skate park or in another shared place. You may choose an example instead of sharing a personal experience.
