Words Are Not For Hurting!!!

ON the piece of paper you have, lets

draw a boy and name him

William

Start out drawing a circle for his head like this

Then draw a straight line to give William a body…

Draw another straight line to give William arms and hands!

Now, draw two lines to give him legs!

Now, Let’s listen to the some words and decide if these words will be helpful to William or if they

will “Wrinkle William”…

I love you, William!

William, you can’t play with us!

William, come eat ice cream with us!

William, you’re stupid! And we are smart!

William, you look nice today!

Your clothes are ugly!

Words are not for hurting! Choose your words wisely! We were able to ‘wrinkle’ William and straighten him back out again, but he doesn’t look the same as when we started! Words can hurt like a punch, so use nice words! Words are not for hurting!
