This worksheet helps students visualize their "circle of trust" by sorting everyday activities into appropriate relationship categories like family, friends, and strangers.

This worksheet is designed to help you understand personal boundaries by placing different social activities into appropriate circles based on the closeness of your relationship with someone. The diagram uses concentric circles, with the innermost circle representing family, then friends, acquaintances, and finally strangers on the outermost circle.

The idea is that:
- Family: Closest people — you’re most comfortable with them.
- Friends: People you trust and are close to, but not family.
- Acquaintances: People you know, but aren’t close to (e.g., classmates, coworkers).
- Strangers: People you don’t know at all.

You need to place each numbered activity in the circle(s) where you’d feel comfortable doing it with that type of person.

Let’s analyze each activity:

1. Hugging
- Comfortable with: Family, Friends
- Less likely with acquaintances or strangers
✔ Family & Friends

2. Telling a worry
- This is personal and emotional
- You’d share this with trusted people
✔ Family & Friends

3. Shaking hands
- A common greeting
- Done with many people, even strangers
✔ All four groups (Family, Friends, Acquaintances, Strangers)

4. Sharing a secret
- Very personal; only for close relationships
✔ Family & Friends

5. Saying good morning
- A polite greeting
- Can be said to anyone
✔ All four groups

6. Holding hands
- Intimate gesture; usually reserved for close people
- Common with family/friends, rare with acquaintances/strangers
✔ Family & Friends

7. Sharing a bag of crisps
- Casual sharing; can happen with friends or acquaintances
- Possible with strangers if in a group setting (e.g., party)
✔ Friends, Acquaintances, Strangers

8. Wishing them a happy birthday
- Common with friends, acquaintances, even strangers (if you know their birthday)
- Also natural with family
✔ All four groups

9. Asking for advice
- Usually done with people you trust
- Can be friends, family, or even some acquaintances (like teachers)
✔ Family, Friends, Acquaintances

10. Being in their car
- Requires trust and safety
- Safe with family and friends
- Uncomfortable with acquaintances or strangers
✔ Family & Friends

Final Answer – Place numbers in the correct circles:

#### 🟡 Family (Innermost)
- 1. Hugging
- 2. Telling a worry
- 4. Sharing a secret
- 6. Holding hands
- 9. Asking for advice
- 10. Being in their car

#### 🔵 Friends
- All of the above plus:
- 3. Shaking hands
- 5. Saying good morning
- 7. Sharing a bag of crisps
- 8. Wishing them a happy birthday

> So: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 — all go here too

Wait! But we must consider only where you'd be comfortable. Some things might be okay with friends but not family?

Let’s refine:

Actually, "sharing a secret" might be more intimate than "shaking hands", so let's think again.

But the activity is about who you'd be comfortable with.

So recheck:

- Hugging: Family & Friends → ✔
- Telling a worry: Family & Friends → ✔
- Shaking hands: Everyone → ✔
- Sharing a secret: Only Family & Friends → ✔
- Saying good morning: Everyone → ✔
- Holding hands: Family & Friends → ✔
- Sharing crisps: Friends, Acquaintances, Strangers → ✔
- Birthday wishes: Everyone → ✔
- Asking for advice: Family, Friends, Acquaintances → ✔
- Being in their car: Family & Friends → ✔

Explanation:

This exercise teaches that personal boundaries vary with relationship closeness. As you move outward from "Me," the level of intimacy decreases. Activities like hugging or sharing secrets are private and reserved for those closest to you. Greetings and casual interactions are fine with almost anyone.

By placing each activity in the right circle, you're learning to respect your own comfort zone and understand when certain behaviors are appropriate.

✔ Answer: Use the table above to fill in the circles accordingly.
