Lesson 6 113 Copyright 2018 Marline E. Pearson It is not okay for a boyfriend or girlfriend to make you feel bad, call you names, put you down, or disrespect you. A healthy relationship means the other person makes you feel good and encourages the best in you. Take photographs of each sculpture. Ask each group to jot down what each feature meant. Consider making posters to put up in public areas with pictures of each sculpture with their descriptions (like you see in the PowerPoints) and a copy of the card underneath. It honors their work and educates other youth in their school or community program. Alternate Activity Options: In lieu of making sculptures, you can consider having participants divide up into groups, each with a card, and do one of the following: Write a short skit based on the scenario to act out. Ask the group to act it out and see if the audience can guess what type of relationship it is. Write a rap, a poem, or a spoken word piece to perform. Make a drawing to represent the type of relationship on their card. Whichever option is used, it’s important to have each group read their card aloud to everyone and have every group show or perform their work. The goal of this brief activity is to continue to build vocabulary for talking about healthy and unhealthy relationships. Shuffle the colored activity cards Healthy or Unhealthy (Resource 6b) found in the back of the manual. (PP) I’m holding a stack of cards with a word on each one. As I say the word and hold up the card, I’d like you to shout out if you think it goes in the healthy or unhealthy relationship pile. Activity: Words that Tell
