Working on Fairness at Home

1. Think of a time where you thought something was unfair. Tell me about it. Was it fixed?
2. In every situation, is it possible to be fair to every person? Why or why not?
3. Is fair always equal (the same)?  Are their some times where fair is not the same?
4. If you are playing basketball with a younger kid, is it fair to let them stand closer to the basket than you?  Why or why not?
5. How do you feel when you are playing a game with someone that is not playing fair?  What are some things you can do?
