Being fair means treating people the right way, giving everyone a turn and a chance, and listening before we decide.
An open mind
A person with an open mind listens to everyone and does not judge people by how they look, what they can or cannot do, or something that happened before.
Why be fair?
- Unfairness makes people feel sad, left out or angry.
- Games and lessons work better when everyone gets a turn.
- When we are fair, people are fair to us.
Include everyone
Invite children who are new, shy or have challenges to play. Be patient and kind with older people. Everyone has something to share!
When something is unfair
- Stay calm.
- Say: “That is not fair. Can we take turns?”
- Ask a teacher or grown-up for help.
- Stand with someone who is being left out.
