The Shy Girl': Empathy and Perspective Taking Activity

Martina saw her friend Steve with a group after class. When she approached, the group started giggling and pointing at her feet, though she saw nothing unusual. She felt embarrassed but the story does not say why the group was laughing. Mark did not want to climb out on the roof as Luke suggested, thinking it was dangerous and knowing he was afraid of heights. Luke called Mark a coward for not wanting to take the risk. The story ends without resolving the conflict between Mark and Luke or explaining why they were laughing at Martina.

Empathy and Perspective Taking Activity

Scenario 1

‘The Shy Girl’


Martina could hardly wait for the end of class because she hoped that she could see her friend
Steve in the hallway. When Martina peeked out of the classroom, she saw Steve with a group
of boys and girls from his own class. Nevertheless, Martina bravely went into the hallway
and started walking towards the group. Suddenly, everyone turned to look at her. Someone in
Steve's group said something that Martina couldn’t hear, and all the kids started to giggle and
point in the direction of Martina's feet. Martina turned red and looked down at her feet, but
she couldn’t see anything unusual.

Scenario 2

‘The Coward’

Every day, when classes were over, Mark played basketball with the boys in his class.
Usually, everyone enjoyed the game very much. One day, Luke suggested something else.
Knowing that his parents weren't home, he said “let's go to my house instead”. When
everybody was sitting in his bedroom, Luke said, “See that window leading onto the roof.
Let's see who can climb down from the window the fastest. Whoever reaches the ground first
is the winner.” Some boys thought it was a great idea, but Mark didn’t think so. He said very
loudly, “that’s a stupid idea. I'm going home.” Luke started to laugh at him and called him a
coward. Soon the other boys joined in too. Mark was scared. He knew that climbing out on
the roof was dangerous. Besides, he was afraid of heights, and he didn’t want to do it. He just
wanted to play basketball.
