Character Education role-play: Accept Me for Who I Am
Visit this page to get the link to the PDF file for the scripted role-plays to print for classroom use. It is called “Accept Me for Who I Am.”
A. Students participate in scripted role-play called “Accept Me for Who I Am.”
Role-play Description: Here is a role-play scenario you can use to help teach about the importance of the Character Education traits of Self Control, Valuing & Respecting Self, Valuing & Respecting Others, and Tolerance & Allowing. Some kids start making fun of basketball player Jason just because he is short. In the first part of the role-play, seventh-grader Jason reacts badly to their ridicule. He ends up getting beat up. The last part of the role-play shows how much better the situation can be when Jason demonstrates enough self control to talk reasonably with his tormentors. As a result, they react in a more tolerant fashion as well. The role-play is called “Accept Me for Who I Am.” This Conflict Resolution role-play is based on an idea shared with me by one of my past seventh-grade students who struggled with being a lot shorter than the other 7th-grade guys.
