Present this stimulus scenario to your pupils and see what it makes them ask or wonder:
You’re playing a game, and you notice that your team’s winning score wasn’t fair because someone on your team accidentally broke the rules.
Concepts include: fairness, winning/losing, teamwork, competition, ‘sportsmanship’, responsibility, rules, mistakes, confessions
Possible questions:
Should you speak up, even if it means your team might not win?
What does fair play mean in sports?
What responsibilities do we have to our teammates, opponents, and the game itself?
Can breaking the rules ever be justified?

Including some holiday-themed questions… Is ice cream for breakfast really a good idea?!
