🎲 Stand Up If… You’ve Been That Student
How do you break the ice with a room full of teenagers?
In Module 2 – Session 2 of the EMBRACE Future High School curriculum, students start the session with a light, funny energizer game:
They stand up only if they’ve done something… painfully relatable.
Some of the real examples?
• “I said ‘The internet is slow’ just to avoid answering in class.”
• “I accidentally liked an old photo while stalking someone on Instagram.”
• “I gave a completely wrong answer with full confidence.”
• “I pretended to be sick just to skip school.”
• “I laughed at a totally inappropriate moment and couldn’t stop.”
The game is playful, honest, and a great way to build connection and trust in the classroom. It invites self-reflection and peer empathy, while still being fun.
🧠 Part of Module 2: Cognitive Well-being, this session helps students connect their own daily experiences with how emotions, choices, and attention are all linked to brain function and well-being.
