Resilience Scenario Cards

Read each bus-route scenario. For every one, choose the most helpful first response, then write what you could do. Stop to notice what is happening, breathe slowly, and decide on a safe next step. There can be more than one sensible strategy.

Scenario response cards

Choose a helpful response that gives you time to think and keeps people safe.

1.Kahu gets on the city bus after school. The only nearby seat is beside a group who are chatting together, and Kahu feels nervous about asking to sit there. Which is the most helpful first response?
  • Stop, take a slow breath, then politely ask whether the seat is free.
  • Push past the group and sit down without asking.
  • Get off the bus because asking feels difficult.
  • Stay frozen in the aisle and hope someone moves.
2.Finn shares an idea for a class activity while riding the bus to a school event. Another passenger makes a teasing comment about it. Write one calm, firm sentence Finn could use, and name one adult he could talk to if the teasing continues.
3.Charlotte is unsure whether she has reached the right stop on a busy city route. Her heart is beating quickly. What could she do first to pause and breathe, and what is one safe way to decide what to do next?
4.On the bus, someone accidentally bumps Tevita’s backpack and a book falls out. Tevita feels angry. Describe one way to stop and breathe, then one respectful next step.
