Explanation:
This task is asking you to think about what really matters in life — the good things that help people get along, feel safe, and grow. These are called “values.” You don’t need to be perfect — just pick the ones that feel most important to you.
Step 1: Think about people you admire. What do they do that makes them special? Maybe they listen, tell the truth, or help others.
Step 2: Look at the balloons. Each one can hold one value — like kindness, honesty, or courage.
Step 3: Write down 8 values that you believe every person should have. It’s okay if your list is different from someone else’s — this is your personal opinion!
Step 4: Support your answers by thinking: “Why is this value important?” For example, “Honesty helps people trust each other.”
You’re not wrong if you pick different values — there’s no single right answer. The goal is to think deeply and choose what feels true to you.

Teach the Topic:
Values are the big ideas that guide how we act and treat others. They’re like invisible rules inside us that help us decide what’s right or wrong, kind or unkind.
Think of it like this: If you were building a robot friend, what rules would you program into it so it’s nice to everyone? That’s what values are — the rules for being a good human.
Simple Example:
Imagine your little brother takes your toy without asking. You could yell — but if your value is “respect,” you might say, “Please ask me next time.” That’s using a value to make a better choice.

Practice Task:
Fill in 5 balloons with values you think are most important for a good friend. Then write one sentence explaining why each one matters.
