The little boy in this story wants to do something now, but all his elders say NOT NOW! NOT NOW! Do you get angry when someone says that to you?

 

Here are some ways to engage students using this story: 
1. Ask students to imagine a scenario where everyone says “NO” every time they try something new. How would they feel? 
2. Encourage a few students to talk about a time they faced a similar situation in real life. 
3. Organize a fun game where students must wait until they hear the word “GO” before starting a race or drawing or painting/ colouring. When you say “STOP”, they must pause before you say “GO” again. The first one to complete the task wins. Ask students to share how they felt playing this game.
