Use with younger elementary students to illustrate responsibility in family relationships and the importance of cooperation. Have students draw their family, showing what everyone does to pitch in at home. Students can share their own family/community roles and come up with ways to contribute more at home or school. Come up with logical consequences for when someone doesn’t fulfill their responsibilities.
