Instructions

  • Let’s talk about a big problem that’s important to us. For example, we might feel strongly about helping animals, helping the environment, promoting education equality, or helping the homeless.
  • No one person can solve these big problems alone, but EVERYONE can make a difference — even when you’re small!
  • Let’s imagine what it would be like if this problem was solved. Let’s draw a picture showing what the world would look like.
  • Let’s brainstorm a list of ways that YOU and I can help. We can make a lemonade stand to raise money, register voters, argue our case to push for change … and much more!
  • Even if you’re small, you can help to make the world a better place!
