WHAT IF:

• You were home alone and the doorbell rang?
• You were home alone and the phone rang? What would you say if someone asked you if your mom was home?
• You got dropped off for ball practice (music lesson, dance lesson, etc) and your ride drove away? You tried to get into the building, but no one was there because it was the wrong day?
• You were waking home from school and a car kept following you along the street?
• You were playing alone and a stranger tried to get you to get in the car with him or her?
• The baby-sitter did something that is against the family rules?
• You were at a big store with your family and you got lost? You couldn't find your parents and you started to feel scared?
• Someone that your family knows really well wanted you to do something that you didn't feel was right?
• You were asleep and woke up suddenly because you smelled smoke?

These are only a few of the endless "What-If" questions. Play this game often and think of different situations. Switch the roles and have the students try to think of other questions.
