Hello, Digital Citizens! I’m Legs, and I’m here to talk about something very important—standing up for our friends. I have tall legs, and I use them to help people who might be feeling sad or left out. Today, I’m at the basketball courts playing with my friends.
While we were picking teams, one of my friends didn’t get chosen and felt left out. So, I decided to invite them to join my team. It’s important to stand up for our friends because it shows we care about them. You don’t even need tall legs like mine to do it!
There are many ways to help your friends, both in person and online. You can say kind words to cheer them up if they’re feeling down. If you’re not sure what to do, you can always talk to a grown-up for advice. Even when I’m playing games on the internet, I make sure to include my friends and say nice things to them.
I hope my tall legs remind you to stand up for others, whether you’re with them or chatting online. It’s important to be kind and supportive. Oh, nice shot, Feet! I have to go now, but I have a question for all you Digital Citizens out there: How do you stand up for the people you care about?
Role-Playing Game: Gather a few friends or family members and create a simple role-playing game where each person takes turns being the one who feels left out. Practice different ways to include them, like inviting them to join a game or asking them to help with a fun activity. Discuss how it feels to be included and how it feels to include others.
Kindness Jar: Create a “Kindness Jar” at home or in your classroom. Every time you do something kind for a friend or stand up for someone, write it down on a piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, read all the kind actions together and celebrate how you helped others feel included and supported.
Observation Walk: Go on a walk around your neighborhood or school and observe how people interact with each other. Look for examples of kindness and inclusion, like someone helping another person or inviting them to join a game. Share what you observed with your class or family and discuss how these actions make a difference.
On this episode, it’s Legs! Hello, Digital Citizens. My name is Legs. I’m known for using my tall legs to stand up for people who are feeling sad or left out. Today, I’m at the basketball courts playing with friends. One of my friends didn’t get picked to join the team and was feeling left out. So, I stood up and invited them to play on my team. Standing up for friends is important to me. It’s a great way to show others you care, and you don’t really have to get off your feet to stand up for others.
There are lots of ways to support your friends, both in person and online too. Like saying kind words to them if they’re feeling sad or left out. Standing up for others can also mean talking to a grown-up if you don’t know what to do. Even if I’m just playing games on the internet, I stand up for my friends by including them and saying nice things.
I hope my tall legs remind you to stand up for others in person and online. Nice shot, Feet! Gotta go. But my question for you, Digital Citizens out there, is: How do you stand up for people you care about?
