Playing a new game you've never played before. Friend says, "Let's play this memory game!" My open mind helps me say...
I'm terrible at this game.
That game is so boring!
Sure, can you teach how to play?
No way. I only play games that I know I can win.
Changing what you have for dinner. Your sibling says, "We should eat Chinese food tonight." My open mind helps me say...
If you order Chinese I'll throw it in the garbage.
Yuck!
I'll give Chinese food a try. Can we get some fried rice?
No thanks. I'll starve.
Doing a sport you've never done. Your classmate says, "You should try it." My open mind helps me say...
I'll fall and hurt myself.
No way! I'm not doing that.
It looks hard, but I'll give it my best.
I'm not good at sports. I'll just embarrass myself.
Going to a large party that you're not sure if you'll like. "Do you want to come to my birthday party? The whole class is coming!" My open mind helps me say...
If kids from our class are going, sure. It will be fun!
Only if you have ice cream cake and not regular cake.
No, I won't know anyone there.
I don't like parties. They are too loud.
Doing something differently than you planned. "We should try to build a volcano out of clay, not paper." My open mind helps me say...
That's a terrible idea.
No, clay is too messy.
I didn't think of that. That's a great idea.
But, I wanted to make it out of paper!
Being around new people. "Let's join Sam's lunch table today." My open mind helps me say...
I don't know anyone sitting at that table.
No, they won't like me.
Okay. Can you introduce me?
Those aren't my friends.
My mom forgot to pack a fork! I have macaroni and cheese for lunch, but no utensil to eat it with. My open mind helps me say....
I'll just ask if I can borrow a fork from the cafeteria.
I just won't eat lunch today, I guess.
I hate my mom!
I'll just throw the macaroni and cheese away.
The book I want has been checked out of the library. The librarian says, "I'm sorry, but we only have one copy and it's not in the library right now." My open mind helps me say...
That's okay. Can you let me know when it's returned?
Well, that's dumb!
I don't like library!
I scream, "Oh man, I really wanted that book today!"
We were supposed to be painting our masks in art today, but we have a substitute who has a different plan. My open mind helps me say...
Nooooo!
This is not what I want to do! I'm going to rip this paper.
I don't like art anyway.
Small problem. We can finish them next week.
Last week, the teacher said I’d be next line leader, but today she chose someone else. My open mind helps me say...
Oh well. "Can I be the line leader next week, then?"
I'm never going to be chosen for line leader.
To the student chosen, "You're not my friend!"
That's not fair!
What should you tell yourself when something is hard?
you got this!
you got this!
you got this!
you got this!
Do you know what you should do right now?
give yourself a high five
give yourself a high five
give yourself a high five
give yourself a high five
