Equipment • Forgive or forget cards
• floor space
Forgive or forgetPurposeTo discuss and determine what types of behaviour a person is willing to
forgive in a friendship and when the boundaries have been pushed so
much that you need to forget that friendship.
Teaching notesThe term ‘forget the friendship’ is being used to highlight that sometimes
friendships or relationships have to be broken if they are not healthy.
Remind students not to share personal stories, and that the aim is to share
values and ideas.
Procedure1. Introduce the concept of the activity as being a way of discussing
certain behaviours that could arise within friendships.
2. Clear a space on the floor and have students form a circle. Arrange
students into pairs.
3. Place labels ‘challenge the person’, ‘forget the friendship’, ‘forgive’ and
‘not sure’ on the floor in the middle of the space and ensure students
understand the meaning of each category.
4. Inform students that they will be given a card that they will need to
place in one of the four categories.
5. Give each pair of students a ‘Forgive or forget’ card.
6. Ask students to place their card under either ‘challenge the person’,
‘forget the friendship’, ‘forgive’ or ‘not sure’. This can either be done:
• as a large group, one situation card at a time, with discussion as
you go, or with a discussion after they are all placed down.
• in small groups who then return to discuss the activity as a whole
class (extra cards would need to be printed out if using this
method).
7. Ask volunteers to read the situation and discuss why they chose to put
the card under a particular category.
Discussion• Is there a difference in individual perceptions of what is forgivable?
• What could a person do if they don’t want to accept certain behaviour
from a friend/partner?
• Would it be difficult to challenge a friend about their behaviour? What
strategies might be helpful in doing this?
• Why are some behaviours considered unacceptable?
• How could someone move on from an unhealthy friendship?
• What other things occur around puberty that are either acceptable or
unacceptable?
• Where/who can we go to for help or information about relationships
and puberty?
Activity: 5-6.13.3Key Message
• Within friendships and
relationships there are a
number of decisions we
make ourselves or others
make.
• These decisions have
certain consequences and
outcomes.
