Objective

By the end of this lesson, Paul will understand the value of honesty through engaging discussions and an outdoor scavenger hunt. He will learn how honesty affects relationships and communities, while also practicing teamwork and communication skills.

Materials and Prep

• Outdoor space (park, backyard, or any open area)
• Paper and pen for each participant
• List of items to find or tasks to complete for the scavenger hunt

Before the lesson, prepare a list of items or tasks that can be found or completed in the outdoor area. Ensure the space is safe and suitable for the activities planned.

Activities

• Discussion on Honesty

  Start with a brief discussion on what honesty means. Encourage Paul to share his thoughts and examples of honesty in his life. This will set the stage for the importance of honesty in everyday interactions.

• Scavenger Hunt

  Organize a scavenger hunt where Paul must find items or complete tasks that require teamwork and communication. Each task can include a question about honesty, prompting reflection on the importance of being truthful during the activity.

• Reflection Circle

  After the scavenger hunt, gather in a circle to discuss experiences. Ask Paul how honesty played a role in his interactions during the hunt and what he learned about himself and others.
