“What Do You Do With a Chance?” By: Kobi Yamada

Questions to think about:

1. Why is it difficult to take risks sometimes?
-
Think about the risks (chances) that you take at home, at school, and in your community. How are they the same and how are they different?

2. Should some chances be ignored?  Why or why not?
-
When you are unsure if you should take a chance (or risk) make a pros and cons list! Think about the positives and negatives for the choice. 
3. How often do you reach for chances? What usually happens?

4. Can chances be created? If so, how?

5. Describe a chance you took. What happened?

Activity: Create a WANTED Poster with the title “WANTED: A CHANCE.” Describe/draw a chance you would like to take in the future


Activity 4


Set Small, Daily Goals

Keep your focus on real things you can do! Set small, daily goals for yourself and keep track of your goals. Set a goal about how much you will read each day, how long you’ll practice your free throws each day, how many nice things you’ll say to family members each day, or something else that’s important to you!
