Answer 1

show them a scenario that gives a child an oppurtunity to lie to get out of trouble, or to give the truth. you can have the child give an answer then explain to the class why or why isn't it is correct. You can let each child do this for different scenarios.

Answer 2

Oh, I would absolutely use The Boy Who Cried Wolf!  Tell the story, then let them act it out.  Then ask them why it was not a good idea for the boy to lie.

Answer 3

FEELINGS - preschoolers have strong feelings and (most) hate the thought of upsetting someone.

At this age it would be best to break up the session

start by talking about truth and lies

read the children a story such as the boy who cried wolf

Ask the children for their opinion on the story

finally ask the children how they would feel if someone lied to them and convince them that honesty is the best policy

p.s

I often tell the little ones at my nursery that even if they have done something that they know will make us sad it is always better to own up  if they did own up they could help us fix the problem and make us happy and proud of them.

Answer 4

print this and read it to them let them each have one for them selves:

The Boy Who Cried Wolf



There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"

Answer 6

Try playing games like the honest game you ask them mini questions and they have to answer them. and have them do stuff like write something on a piece of paper and they don't know that  they will have to read it in front of class and it has to be an honest thought.

I hope that helps!

Try using a story. Fairy tales and folk tales often involve honesty. Pinocchio, The Frog Prince, Rumpelstiltskin and lots more use this theme. Tell the story and then discuss the characters' behavior. Here's a site with lots of ideas for activities for various fairy tales:

Make up a simple play. Do it on 2 levels, 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' and 'The Girl Who Lied'.
