Read and Talk Together The game should take about 30–45 minutes to play, make choices, and discuss. As you circulate through the class, be mindful of students’ conversations. If a pair seems to have gone too far off the topic, have them tell you their answers to the most recent question, and then ask them to continue the story.

Early Finishers Some buddy pairs will complete the interactive session early. Have them use one of these ideas (or use one of your own ideas) to keep the topic discussion going until the session ends: • Have them use the generosity Think About It cards to review and reflect on events in the story. • Read a book together in a book corner that has topic-related books on display.

Class Discussion Leave about 10 minutes at the end of the session to bring the whole group together. Lead a discussion about what students thought of the game and their buddy experience. Ask questions such as: • Which was easiest to decide how to share: chocolates, money, or time? Which was hardest? Why? • What affected your decisions about sharing—what was being shared, how Arthur would feel, or how his friends would feel? • How did the information you learned in each situation affect your decisions about sharing? • How did you feel about sharing when there were different “costs” Arthur, such as as giving away his time would cause him to miss out on a bike ride? • How do you feel when sharing means you have to give up something? • What are some reasons why it can be difficult to share and be generous? If time allows, do a simple activity to reinforce the learning such as: • Project an image from the game on the wall or a screen. Have volunteers describe what's happening in the scene. Encourage students to use key vocabulary words in their description.
