Consequences Discussion Cards

36 cards portraying a range of behaviours and potential outcomes arising as a consequence

Illustrating actions and outcomes, these cards can be used in the classroom or clinic with primary age children.  The cards help to reinforce the need to consider outcomes and an appreciation that choices made may not only have personal consequences but also affect others.
 
The cards have been divided into two sections:

1   Cards that show an action and then a potential outcome:

– Cheating – failing a test
– Leaving a field gate open – animal escapes
– Disruptive classroom behaviour – detention

2   Cards that show behaviour and can be used for open discussion:

– Bullying
– Vandalism
– Helping others

The accompanying booklet provides some suggested pairing of the card, useful start points to generate debate, and 18 sayings and philosophical quotations to help extend thinking in this subject.
