This worksheet asks you to think about how you would feel in different situations and whether you could forgive the person (or pet) involved. Since these are personal questions, there is no single "right" answer, but here are some thoughtful and honest sample answers that show kindness and understanding — which is what forgiveness is all about.
---
1. Your best friend borrowed your favorite toy without asking and accidentally broke it.
→ I’d feel sad and maybe a little mad at first because it was my favorite toy. But I know my friend didn’t mean to break it. To forgive them, I’d tell them how I felt, then say, “It’s okay — accidents happen. Let’s fix it together or pick a new one to play with.”

2. Your little brother or sister scribbled on your artwork when you left it unattended.
→ I might feel frustrated or upset because I worked hard on that art. But they’re little and probably didn’t know better. To forgive them, I’d give them their own paper next time and say, “Let’s draw together so you don’t mess up mine again!”

3. During a school project, a classmate didn’t do their fair share of the work, and your project didn’t turn out as well as you hoped.
→ I’d feel disappointed or even angry because I did more than my part. But instead of staying mad, I’d talk to them calmly: “I felt like I had to do everything. Next time, let’s split the work evenly.” Forgiving means giving them a chance to do better.

4. Sometimes, pets like cats or dogs can scratch or bite by mistake. How would you react if your pet accidentally hurt you?
→ It would sting, and I might cry or be surprised. But I know my pet doesn’t mean to hurt me — they’re just playing or scared. I’d gently say, “Ouch! Be careful,” and hug them after. Pets don’t understand rules like we do, so forgiving them is easy — they love us anyway!
---
5. In a sports or game situation, if a teammate made a mistake that caused your team to lose, how would you react?
→ I’d feel bummed about losing, but I wouldn’t blame my teammate. Everyone makes mistakes — even pros! I’d pat them on the back and say, “Good try! We’ll win next time.” Showing support helps the whole team stay strong.
