Activity: Students act out the story. A narrator is chosen and each student has a part to play. Props can be added. Materials needed: a place to record who will play which part in the story; materials for props; a teacher made list of all the characters (for reference after the brainstorming session to make sure it’s all covered) Directions: Introduce the video and explain that it’s about paying it forward by doing good deeds. Explain: “We will become actors today and put on a play! We will need narrators, character actors, and props. Everyone will have something to do! First we’ll brainstorm a list of the characters in the story and pick who will play which parts. You can make suggestions about props and sound bites to go with the story.” Lead a brainstorming session and decide who will do what. If props are to be made, provide materials for that. Practice the play and try to get an audience to attend your opening performance! Wrap it up: Explain: “I think you all did a marvelous job creating a fantastic production! I’d love to hear what you have to say about it!” Ask students to share about their experience - ask questions, what was challenging, fun, interesting? Conclude with a message about the moral of the story - as we each choose to pay it forward, we make the world a better place for everyone.
