3rd Grade: Being Truthful
To learn about the core Jewish values of Emet (truthfulness) we are:
Playing group games that involve lying, and discussing how it feels to lie and be lied to.
Imagining situations where we are lied to, and thinking through how we would feel and what our reactions would be.
Challenging ourselves to avoid even telling white lies, by role playing situations where we may want to lie, but instead decide to tell the truth.
Playing a game of telephone and drawing comic strips to represent how even the tiniest of lies can be blown way out of proportion, and how it can be hard to break the habit of lying once you start.

What could happen if you tell a even a small lie?
