Activity
Responsibility Relay Game Cards
Use these scenario cards for the relay game. Each student will:
- Read their card aloud.
- Decide if it’s a Work or Behavior responsibility.
- Suggest one way to improve responsibility in that situation.
Card 1: Mia arrives to class on time but spends the first five minutes on her phone instead of preparing her materials.
Card 2: Raj completes and submits his history essay two days early, then asks the teacher for feedback on how to make it stronger.
Card 3: Kira forgets her math homework but, after realizing, stays in at recess to finish and turn it in that day.
Card 4: Leo borrows art supplies without asking and returns them with a broken brush but does not apologize or offer to replace it.
Card 5: Zoe volunteers to present her group’s slide but misses her cue, causing the team to rush and disrupt the schedule.
Card 6: Ethan stays after science class to clarify a concept he didn’t understand instead of guessing on his lab report.
Card 7: Nina glances off-topic during instruction but remains silent and then asks focused questions afterward to catch up.
Card 8: Hasan notices a classmate drop their papers and picks them up, quietly helping without drawing attention.
Card 9: Tyler rushes through an in-class assignment to finish early, resulting in incomplete or sloppy work.
Card 10: Priya sees a peer being teased at their desk and respectfully intervenes, telling the teaser to stop and offering support to her classmate.

Responsibility Role-Play Scenarios
Use these scenarios for your role-play groups. For each scenario:
• Actor: Show how you would handle it.
• Observer: Note responsible and less responsible choices on sticky notes.
• Coach(es): Offer and model an improved, responsible response.
Rotate roles every 2½ minutes until each student has practiced.
Scenario 1: The Missing Research
You and two classmates must submit a group research summary tomorrow. One partner hasn’t contributed and is offline. You’re tempted to do their portion to avoid conflict.
Scenario 2: The Broken Lab Goggles
During biology lab, you accidentally crack a pair of goggles. Class is moving on and the teacher hasn’t noticed. You can quietly put them back or speak up now.
Scenario 3: The Unfair Grade
You receive a lower grade than your peers on a worksheet because you followed a different method that’s still valid. The teacher staples graded work closed and is packing up. You can let it go or politely ask for clarification.
Scenario 4: The Phone Distraction
It’s independent reading time but your phone buzzes with a message from a friend. You can read it quietly or ignore it until class ends.
Scenario 5: The Forgotten Presentation
You agreed to present the group’s slide but panic at the moment and say “pass,” making your teammates scramble to cover. After class, do you admit your mistake or stay silent?
Scenario 6: The Rumor Mill
You hear classmates planning to spread a rumor about someone in your grade group chat. You can join in, ignore it, or stand up and tell them to stop.
After each role-play, discuss:
- What responsible and less responsible choices did you observe?
- How would your improved response affect trust and teamwork?
- How can you apply this in real school situations?

Activity
Responsibility Resource Station Activity
Instead of a one-time gallery walk, we’ll build a year-long Responsibility Resource Station that students can revisit for ongoing support and inspiration.
How It Works
-
Create Your Responsibility Card or Bookmark
- Using your completed Responsibility Action Plan Worksheet, design a small card or bookmark that includes:
• Your long-term academic and behavior goals
• Two to three key action steps or strategies
• A motivational quote or reminder (e.g., “I own my actions!”) - Decorate it with colors or symbols that resonate with you.
- Using your completed Responsibility Action Plan Worksheet, design a small card or bookmark that includes:
-
Build the Resource Station
- Collect all cards/bookmarks in a clear bin, binder, or on a dedicated bulletin board in the classroom labeled Responsibility Resource Station.
- Organize alphabetically by student name or by goal type (Academic / Behavior).
-
Use & Revisit Throughout the Year
- At the start of each week or before major assignments, pick up your card/bookmark.
- Review your goals and strategies, then set a short-term check-in in your planner (e.g., “This week I will…”).
- After a month, exchange cards with a partner for new encouragement and ideas.
-
Periodic Reflection
- Every quarter, take 5 minutes to revisit the station:
• Update your card/bookmark with new strategies or adjusted goals.
• Add sticky-note reflections on your progress. - Share one insight during our class check-in.
- Every quarter, take 5 minutes to revisit the station:
Materials Needed:
- Cardstock or heavy paper for cards/bookmarks
- Colored pencils, markers
- Hole punch & ribbon (optional for bookmarks)
- Binder or display board
This ongoing Resource Station will become a living reference, helping you stay accountable and motivated all year long!
