 Facilitator Say:  Today we are going to learn about what being responsible means and how we can be responsible. Listen carefully as I tell you all about it!

Say:  Responsibility is controlling your words and actions, doing your best and never blaming others for your mistakes.  Being responsible for a job means that you are the one who makes sure it is done correctly and on time.

Say: When you show that your are dependable, you show responsibility.  When you tell someone that you will do something, that person is counting on you to "pull your weight."  When you do a good job and finish on time, you are showing that you are responsible.  A responsible person always does his/her best and does not blame others for his/her mistakes.

Say: You also show responsibility by the cho9ices you make.  Every day you make many decisions which affect your life.  some choices are small, such as choosing what to wear  or what to eat for lunch.  Some decisions, such as the way you treat others and do your chores, affect other people.  When you make good choices, you are showing others you are responsible.

Say: You can be responsible by taking care of your belongings.  You should take care of your school supplies, library books, and money.  If you own a pet, it is counting on you to feed it, give it water, and keep it clean.  When you do these things, you show responsibility.

Say:  We also count on other people to be responsible.  Imagine what the world would be like if no one took responsibility for taking out trash or cleaning up messes.  You count on others to be responsible, just as others count on you.
