Using the TV Adverts
Choose from the following 3 activities or complete them all!:
1. Star in a TV Advert
Suggested Method:
The TV ads have been provided in 3 formats – choose your preferred format:
- the complete advert
- the advert with 7 pauses built in to allow you to discuss the issues as you wish
- the advert with 7 pauses built in and multiple choice questions on the screen
Divide the children into groups of 3 or 4. Give each group a drama card (overleaf) and allow them time to consider how their scenario might end and to practice acting it out. The groups will probably choose to act out an irresponsible ending, as this can be more fun!
Once the scenario has been acted out, ask the other groups to consider:
- was their ending the responsible one?
- how else might the situation have ended?
- how would it have ended if everyone behaved responsibly?
You could take votes on the various suggestions. Play the matching scenario from the TV advert and discuss how potential conflict situations were avoided.
Repeat with the next group until all the scenarios have been covered. You may wish to move onto the next activity.
