When people break the rules or hurt others’ feelings, it is important to know how to apologize. Sometimes apologizing can be difficult, and we need to be taught at a young age how to apologize in a meaningful way that is genuine. There are some important steps to apologizing that all children should know and understand.
For this activity, students will create a 5 cell storyboard that is an example of a meaningful apology, including all of the steps listed above.
