Teacher’s Explanation & Activities:

- Returning items borrowed from classmates or neighbors.
- Telling the truth even when it is difficult.
- Keeping agreements, such as completing a task or attending a meeting.
The teacher narrates short stories illustrating the difference between keeping and breaking promises, emphasizing consequences:
- A child who shares toys vs. a child who refuses to return them.
- A friend who tells the truth vs. one who lies and causes misunderstanding.
