Activity:
Processing / Reflection
Objective:
Discuss the importance
of using the correct name
of private body parts.
Identify the 3 types
of touches.
Materials:
Visual aid (List of incomplete
sentences written on
Manila paper)
Instruction:
1. Process the experience of the group by asking reflective questions such
as the following:
•
•
•
•
What did you feel during the activity?
Do you teach these messages to your children? Why?
Which part/s of the activity did you find difficult? Why?
What are the private body parts of girls and boys? What names do we use
to call the private body parts of our children?
• What would be the possible consequences if we do not introduce the correct
names of private body parts?
2. Allow the group to share their insights, thoughts, and reflections. Deepen the
discussion by posing additional questions, such as:
• Why is it important to teach our children the correct names of their private
body parts?
• Who do you think has the authority to teach the children the correct names
of their private body parts?
• How can the teachers/school help parents/guardians?
3. Relate the discussion to the importance of teaching their children about personal
safety. Explain that children should learn that they are in control of who touches
their bodies and how. Explain the 3 kinds of touches:
• Safe touches - these are touches that keep children safe, are good for them,
and make them feel cared for and important. These are considered Good Touches.
9
For Parents and Guardians of Learners in Kindergarten to Grade 3
• Unsafe touches - these are touches that hurt/harm children’s bodies or
feelings. These are also the kind of touches that they don’t like (it makes them
uncomfortable) and would want to stop right away. When someone touches
their private parts with intentions other than to keep them clean and healthy,
these touches are not okay. These are Bad Touches.
• Unwanted touches - these are touches that might be safe but that a child
doesn’t want from a particular person or in that particular moment. It’s okay for
a child to say “no” to unwanted touch, even if it’s from a familiar person. Children
need to learn to set personal boundaries.
4. Summarize the sharing of the group. Connect the discussion to the topic — Sexual/
Reproductive Anatomy & Physiology. The topic will be part of the CSE curriculum.
CSE will help children identify the correct names and functions of their bodies
including sexual/reproductive organs. Children can communicate clearly about
their bodies if they know the right language and context. CSE will teach children
how to keep their bodies clean, healthy and safe. They will be taught how to
respect and protect one’s body and set personal boundaries.

concepts of CSE.
Enumerate the roles of parents,
guardians, and teachers in the
provision of CSE
Materials:
Visual Aids (Signage:
Comprehensive Sexuality
Education, CSE topics, subjects
for CSE integration, Core Skills)
Instruction:
1. Provide the group a short backgrounder of CSE Curriculum:
• In July 2018, DepEd Secretary Briones issued a DepEd Order on the Implementation
of CSE in the K-12 Basic Curriculum.
• DepEd cited three major problems confronting children/young people of today:
1) increasing incidence of early pregnancy;
2) increasing incidence of violence among young people, and;
3) increasing incidence of HIV among young people.
• There is a challenge for educators to address the needs of the learners in terms of
health and protection. Educators need to provide comprehensive and appropriate
information on sexuality and reproductive health.
2.
Explain the definition, objectives and key concepts of CSE:
• CSE is a curriculum-based process of teaching and learning about mental,
emotional, physical, and social aspects of sexuality.
• CSE aims to equip children and young people with knowledge, skills, attitudes,
and values that will empower them to “1) realize their health, well-being, and
dignity; 2) develop respectful social and sexual relationships; 3) consider how
their choices affect their well-being and that of others, and; 4) understand and
ensure the protection of their rights throughout their lives.”
• CSE will include the following topics: Human Body & Human Development;
Personhood & Values; Healthy Relationships; Sexuality & Sexual Behaviors;
Sexual & Reproductive Health; Personal Safety, and; Gender, Culture and Human Rights.
11
For Parents and Guardians of Learners in Kindergarten to Grade 3
• Present the proposed key contents of CSE for Kindergarten to Grade 3.
See Annex 1-A.
• CSE concepts will be integrated into the K-12 Curriculum specifically in
MAPEH, Araling Panlipunan, Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao, Science, and Personal
Development.
3.
Enumerate the role of teachers and parents/guardians in the provision of CSE:
• Teachers will be the main implementors of the CSE curriculum. They will be trained
to have confidence, commitment, and resources to be able to teach more complex
issues, on sexuality and sexual and reproductive health. This will provide pupils/
students with life skills, other analytical tools, and positive behaviors that would
prevent issues such as early pregnancies, school-related GBV, bullying, and the
spread of STI/HIV infections.
• Health providers can provide additional information and counseling, support for
classroom activities, and referrals to other services. Other non-teaching personnel
in school will become aware of the policies and principles of CSE and child
protection.
• Parents/guardians and families will share in the promotion of the safety and
well-being of children and young people. CSE aims to increase parent-to-child
communication about sexuality and welcome questions from children about their
changing bodies and other sexual issues, not treating them as dirty or embarrassing
subjects. Parents/guardians are encouraged to be a helpful guide and positive
resource person to their children. Cooperation and support of parents/guardians
and families will be sought from the outset of the program and regularly reinforced
throughout the school year.
4. Ask for questions/clarifications from the group. Allow the group to surface their
feelings, thoughts, and concerns about CSE. Reiterate the important messages of
CSE.
Note: Please refer to Annex 2 for tips on how to address the common concerns about CSE.

of parents/guardians to
scenarios they find their
children in that relate to private
body parts, sexuality, or human
reproduction.
Activity:

Activity:
What Ifs…
(Emoji Reactions)
Materials:
Different Emoji drawings/
printouts (Happy, Sad, Angry,
Shocked/Speechless)
Instruction:
1. Tell the group that you will give some scenarios they may find their children in that
relate to private body parts, sexuality, and human reproduction.
2. Explain the meaning of each emoji posted on the walls then ask the participants
to go to the emoji that best represents their reaction to a given scenario.
3. Give the following scenarios one by one.
appropriate to the local context.
You may change them to be more
• Lumabas sa bahay ng walang salawal ang anak.
• Nahuli ninyong kinakamot ng anak ang kanyang ari.
• Nagtanong ang anak ng “Bakit po tumitigas ang ari ko kapag hinahawakan
ko siya?”
• Nagtanong ang anak ng “Saan po galing ang mga baby?”
• Nagtanong ang anak ng “Paano po ba ako nabuo?”
4. Ask the group to reflect on their reactions. Allot some time for them to share
experiences or stories similar to the given scenarios.
5. Explain that parents/guardians’ reactions—tone of voice, words used, facial
expressions—form part of their children’s first lessons in sexuality. If parents/
guardians respond without anger, surprise, or disapproving words, they are
teaching children that curiosity about their bodies is a normal part of life. Point
out that it is not a good idea to scold them when they touch themselves because
it will only prompt a sense of guilt and shame. Parents/guardians should be the
source of reliable information. If children cannot turn to their parents/guardians
for fear of judgement or scolding, they may turn to a peer or perhaps an older child
for information about sex, sexual organs, and reproduction. By being open to their
children’s questions, parents/guardians set the stage for continued conversations
and openness when puberty begins. Welcoming the questions of children about
their bodies and sexual issues, and not treating them as dirty or embarrassing
subjects will help foster a healthy sense of self-acceptance in our children. This
way, children are more likely to come to their parents/guardians for information
and guidance.

Instruction:
1. Ask the group to analyze their answers. Identify what answers are exclusive for
males or females only, and which of the words apply to both males and females?
2. Draw out some insights/reflections from the participants.
3. Discuss the difference between sex and gender:
• Sex refers to the biological characteristics of male or female which include
genitalia, hormones, chromosomes (X and Y chromosomes).
• Gender refers to the socially constructed characteristics of women and men—
such as norms, roles, and relationships of and between groups of women and
men. It is a socially constructed system that segregates people into categories
based on possession of characteristics that are assigned masculine or feminine.
It varies across history and societies.
• The confusion between sex and gender has resulted to gender stereotyping
or Pagkakahon (the practice of ascribing to an individual specific attributes,
characteristics, or roles by reason only of their sex assigned at birth and perceived
membership in the social group of women or men). The assumption behind
stereotyping is that ascribed attributes of men apply to all men and that of women apply to all women in a given society. These stereotyped traits, characteristics and roles have become fixed in one’s mind that is not open
to change
4.
Explain that the topic — Sex and Gender will be part of the Comprehensive
Sexuality Education (CSE) curriculum. CSE aims to provide the pupils/students
with a gender lens to examine issues and concerns affecting themselves as well
as their family, immediate community, and society. These lessons also seeks to
promote gender equality, respect, and empathy.

Materials:
Share and analyze myths and
misconceptions related to puberty
and human reproduction.
Instruction:
1. Ask the group about their feelings/insights about the game. Have them share
other myths and misconceptions they know of that are related to puberty and
human reproduction. Discuss these beliefs and perceptions with the group. Provide
explanations, if needed.
2. Tell them that these myths and misconceptions create confusion, embarrassment
and/or fear among young people. Explain that puberty (the time of sexual
maturation) can be a very confusing time. Young people experience a lot of physical
and emotional changes. They need to be armed with the correct information so
they can better manage themselves. Young people spend a lot of time wondering
if they are “normal” or comparing themselves with their friends. They need a lot of
reassurance as they head into this stage of human development. Even if kids are
embarrassed to ask about it, parents/guardians need to guide them on what to
expect during puberty and adolescence.
3. Emphasize that when parents/guardians are open to children’s questions about
their bodies, sexuality and human reproduction, they encourage the continued
conversations and openness with their children. By welcoming questions about
their children’s changing bodies and sexual issues; and not treating them as dirty
or embarrassing subjects, parents/guardians teach their kids the value of respect,
self-acceptance, and understanding. Children are more likely to come to their
parents/guardians for information and guidance.
4. Explain that there will be a discussion on puberty and human reproduction in the CSE
curriculum. CSE will provide opportunities for students to acquire comprehensive,
accurate, evidence-informed, and age-appropriate information on sexuality.

Materials:
Define and identify types of GBV
Instruction:
1. Ask the group about their feelings/insights during the game. Have them share
similar stories/incidents/experiences.
2.
Introduce the concept of GBV to the group. Explain the following:
• GBV is violence directed against a person because of their gender. Both
women and men experience this, but the majority of victims are women
and girls.
• GBV and violence against women (VAW) are often used interchangeably as it
has been widely acknowledged that most GBV is inflicted on women and girls
by men.
• Violence against women and girls is one of the most prevalent human rights
violations in the world. An estimated 1 in 3 women will experience physical
or sexual abuse in her lifetime. GBV undermines the health, dignity, security,
and autonomy of its victims, yet it continues to occur because we are “told”
to be silent (culture of silence). Many forms of VAW are rooted in power inequalities
between men and women
• Types of GBV:
a.
Overt physical abuse (includes battering, sexual assault, at home
or in the workplace)
b.
Psychological abuse (includes deprivation of liberty, forced marriage,
sexual harassment, at home or in the workplace)
c.
Deprivation of resources needed for physical and psychological
well-being (including health care, nutrition, education, means
of livelihood)
d.
Treatment of women as commodities (includes trafficking in women
and girls for sexual exploitation)
29
For Parents and Guardians of Learners in Grades 11 to 12
• Analysis of the impact of GBV is expanding — from considering the immediate
effects on the women/children to examining the effects on the larger community,
family, and society. GBV is not just a “women’s issue” but an issue that concerns all
of us.
2.
Explain that the topic of GBV will be part of the Comprehensive Sexuality Education
(CSE) curriculum. CSE aims to provide the pupils/students with a gender lens
to examine gender-based issues and concerns affecting themselves, their family,
immediate community, and society. It will also include a discussion of laws related
to GBV.

provision of CSE.
Activity:
Input/Discussion
Materials:
Instruction:
1. Provide the group a short backgrounder of CSE Curriculum:
• In July 2018, DepEd Secretary Briones issued a DepEd Order on the Implementation
of CSE in the K-12 Basic Curriculum.
• DepEd cited three major problems confronting children/young people of today:
1) increasing incidence of early pregnancy; 2) increasing incidence of violence
among young people, and; 3) increasing incidence of HIV among young people.
• There is a challenge for educators to address the needs of the learners in terms of
health and protection. Educators need to provide comprehensive and appropriate
information on sexuality and reproductive health.
2. Explain the definition, objectives and key concepts of CSE:
•
CSE is a curriculum-based process of teaching and learning about mental,
emotional, physical, and social aspects of sexuality.
•
CSE is a curriculum-based process of teaching and learning about mental,
emotional, physical, and social aspects of sexuality.
•
CSE aims to equip children and young people with knowledge, skills, attitudes,
and values that will empower them to “1) realize their health, well-being, and
dignity; 2) develop respectful social and sexual relationships; 3) consider how
their choices affect their well-being and that of others, and; 4) understand and
ensure the protection of their rights throughout their lives.”
•
CSE will include the following topics: Human Body & Human Development;
Personhood & Values; Healthy Relationships; Sexuality & Sexual Behaviors;
Sexual & Reproductive Health; Personal Safety, and; Gender, Culture and
Human Rights.
31
For Parents and Guardians of Learners in Grades 11 to 12
•
Present the proposed key contents of CSE for Grades 11-12. See Annex 1-D.
•
CSE concepts will be integrated into the K-12 Curriculum specifically in
MAPEH, Araling Panlipunan, Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao, Science,
and Personal Development.
3. Enumerate the role of teachers and parents/guardians in the provision of CSE:
• Teachers will be the main implementors of the CSE curriculum. They will be trained
to have confidence, commitment, and resources to be able to teach more complex
issues, on sexuality and sexual and reproductive health. This will provide pupils/
students with life skills, other analytical tools, and positive behaviors that would
prevent issues such as early pregnancies, school-related GBV, bullying, and the
spread of STI/HIV infections.
• Health providers can provide additional information and counseling, support for
classroom activities, and referrals to other services. Other non-teaching personnel
in school will become aware of the policies and principles of CSE and child
protection.
• Parents/guardians and families will share in the promotion of the safety and
well-being of children and young people. CSE aims to increase parent-to-child
communication about sexuality and welcome questions from children about their
changing bodies and other sexual issues, not treating them as dirty or embarrassing
subjects. Parents/guardians are encouraged to be a helpful guide and positive
resource person to their children. Cooperation and support of parents/guardians
and families will be sought from the outset of the program and regularly reinforced

Research has shown that CSE has either no direct impact
on the age of sexual initiation or that it leads to later and
more responsible sexual behavior. Evidence shows that CSE
can delay the initiation of sexual intercourse, decrease the
number of sexual partners, and reduce the frequency of sex
in sexually active teens. The Guidance continues to promote
scientifically-accurate and age-appropriate teachings about
sexuality including learning facts about sex and reproduction
before age 12.
Numerous studies have proven that ‘abstinence-only’
education is not effective in preventing young people from
having sex, nor does it lead to healthier practices. The
Guidance, therefore, does not promote ‘abstinence-only’
messages but does include information relevant for young
people who chose to abstain from sex as well as those who
are already sexually active.
CSE deprives
children of their
“innocence”.
Evidence illustrates that children and young people benefit
from receiving appropriate information that is scientifically
accurate, non-judgmental, and age- and developmentallyappropriate, in a carefully planned process from the
beginning of formal schooling. In the absence of CSE,
children and young people can be vulnerable to conflicting
and sometimes even damaging messages from their peers,
the media, or other sources. Good quality sexuality education
provides complete and correct information with an emphasis
on positive values and relationships. Sexuality education
is about more than sex—it includes information about the
body, puberty, relationships, life skills, etc.
CSE goes against our CSE stresses the need to engage and build support among
the custodians of culture in a given community to adapt
culture or religion.
the content to the local cultural context. Key stakeholders,
including religious leaders, can assist program developers
and providers to engage with the key values central to the
relevant religions and cultures, as people’s religious beliefs
will inform what they do with the knowledge they possess.
CSE also highlights the need to reflect on and address
negative social norms and harmful practices that are not in
line with human rights or that increase vulnerability and risk,
especially for girls and young women or other marginalized
populations.

It is the role of
parents/guardians
and the extended
family to educate
our young people
about sexuality.
As the primary source of information, support, and care in
shaping a healthy approach to sexuality and relationships,
parents/guardians and family play a fundamental role.
However, through education ministries, schools and teachers,
as well as the government should support and complement
the role that parents/guardians and family play by providing
holistic education for all children and young people in a
safe and supportive learning environment, as well as the
tools and materials necessary to deliver high-quality CSE
programming.
Parents will
object to sexuality
education being
taught in schools.
Parents/guardians play a primary role in shaping key
aspects of their children’s sexual identity and their sexual
and social relationships. Parents/guardians’ objections to
CSE programs in school are often based on fear and lack of
information about CSE and its impact, as they want to be
sure that messages about sexuality and SRH are rooted in
the family’s values system. CSE programs are not meant to
take over the role of parents/guardians, but rather to work
in partnership with them, and to involve and support them.
Most parents/guardians are among the strongest supporters
of quality sexuality education programs in schools. Many
parents/guardians value external support to help them

porn on the Internet or is bullied on social media) and how
to access and provide accurate information.
Well-trained, supported, and motivated teachers will play a
key role in the delivery of high- quality CSE. Teachers are
often faced with questions about growing up, relationships,
or sex from learners in a school setting, and it is important
that they have a suitable and safe way of responding to these
questions.
Clear sectoral and school policies and curricula help support
teachers, as does institutionalized pre- and in-service teacher
training and support from school management. Teachers
should be encouraged to develop their skills and confidence
through the added emphasis on formalizing CSE in the
curriculum, as well as stronger professional development
and support.
Teaching CSE
is too difficult
for teachers.
Teaching and talking about sexuality can be challenging
given our social and cultural contexts where there are
negative and contradictory messages about sex, gender, and
sexuality. At the same time, most teachers and educators
have the skills to build rapport with learners, to actively
listen and help identify needs and concerns and to provide
information. Teachers can be trained in CSE content through
participatory methodologies and are not expected to be
experts on sexuality. This training can be included as part of
the curriculum of teacher training institutes (pre-service) or
as in-service teacher training.
CSE is already
covered in other
subjects (biology,
life-skills or civics
education).
CSE provides an opportunity to evaluate and strengthen the
curriculum based on the dynamic and rapidly changing field of
CSE. It also ensures that schools fully cover a comprehensive
set of topics and learning objectives, even if the learning is
distributed across a range of school subjects. In addition,
effective CSE includes several of the attitudinal and skillsbased learning outcomes which may not necessarily be
included in other subjects.

Young people
The internet and social media can be excellent ways for
young people to access information and answers to their

appropriate, evidence-based facts and can even provide
biased and distorted messages. It is difficult for young people
to distinguish between accurate and inaccurate information.
While online media can offer a lot of information, it does
not offer the space for young people to discuss, reflect, and
debate the issues, nor develop relevant skills. CSE offers a
forum for young people to understand and make sense of
the images, practices, norms, and sexual scripts that they
observe via social media and pornography. It provides an
opportunity to learn about the aspects of sexuality that
are absent from pornography, such as emotional intimacy,
negotiating consent, and discussing modern contraception.
CSE can also support young people to safely navigate the
internet and social media and can help them identify correct
and fact-based information.
Religious leaders
Religious leaders play a unique role in supporting CSE in
schools. Faith-based organizations can guide program

leaders to begin a discussion about sexual health and sexuality
education. Acting as models, mentors, and advocates,
religious leaders are ambassadors for faith communities that
value young people’s well-being. Young people seek moral
guidance that is relevant to their lives, and all young people
deserve reliable information and caring guidance about
sexuality that enables them to engage in both emotionally
and physically healthy relationships. Sexuality education that
is factually inaccurate and withholds information ignores
the realities of adolescent life, and puts young people at
unnecessary risk of disease and unintended pregnancy.
Above all, it endangers their lives and human dignity. Many
faith communities know from experience, and numerous
studies show, that young people tend to delay mature sexual
activity when they receive sexuality education that focuses
on responsible decision- making and mutual respect in
relationships.

RESPONSE
CSE is a means of
recruiting young
people towards
alternative lifestyles.
CSE promotes
homosexuality.
The main principle of CSE is that everyone has the right to
accurate information and services to achieve the highest
standard of health and well-being, without passing judgement
on sexual behavior, sexual orientation, gender identity,
or health status. CSE takes a rights-based approach that
is also focused on gender and acknowledges that people
express themselves differently in all societies, sometimes
not conforming to gender or social norms, including on the
issue of sexual behaviour and sexual orientation or gender
identity. It does not endorse or campaign for any particular
lifestyle other than promoting health and well-being for all.
CSE does not promote one sexual orientation over another.
It provides opportunities to acquire accurate, evidenceinformed, and age-appropriate information on a range of
topics related to sexuality including, gender identity, sexual
orientation, and gender identity or expressions. CSE follows
international standards, global and regional agreements
signed by the UN Member States, which reiterate the
importance that all persons, without discrimination of any
kind, regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender identity
or other statues, should have equal access to the highest
attainable standard of health. This also includes accurate
information, education, and health services for all without
discrimination, concerning sexual and reproductive health.
In order to not leave anyone behind and to align with
the human rights principles of the 2030 Agenda, CSE
recommends integrating learning about human rights, nondiscrimination and sexual and reproductive health needs for
all in the curriculum content.

CSE promotes
abortion.
RESPONSE
The CSE does not promote abortion. The CSE notes that
unsafe abortion is a major health problem for youth and
adolescents around the world and that it contributes
significantly to maternal mortality rates. CSE also notes that
young people should have access to full information about
comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services,
which include abortion (where legal) and post-abortion care.
The CSE acknowledges that there are national laws and
international agreements that impact sexual and reproductive
health, including those concerning abortion and the
prevention of unsafe abortions. This, therefore, points to the
need for youth and adolescents to be familiar with national
laws on sexual and reproductive health, including those on
abortion.
CSE also includes references to globally-agreed standard
language concerning abortion, as expressed in the
International Conference of Population and Development
Programme of Action: “In no case should abortion be
promoted as a method of family planning. In circumstances
in which abortion is not against the law, such abortion should
be safe. In all cases, women should have access to quality
services for the management of complications arising from
abortion. Post-abortion counseling, education and family
planning services should be offered promptly, which will
also help to avoid repeat abortions. In circumstances where
abortion is not against the law, health systems should train
and equip health-service providers and should take other
measures to ensure that such abortion is safe and accessible.”

ANNEX 3:
FACT OR BLUFF EXPLANATION
• Statement A:
Kapag may regla ang babae, hindi sya pwedeng tumakbo o mag-exercise.
Answer: BLUFF
Explanation:
During her period, a female can do anything she normally does. Exercise can even
help reduce cramps and improve mood.
•Statement B:
Ang ari ng lalaki ay may buto kaya ito lumalaki.
Answer: BLUFF
Explanation:
Even though we sometimes call an erect penis a “boner”, the penis has no bone in
it. A rush of blood into the penis causes an erection.
• Statement C: Hindi pwedeng maligo kapag may regla.
Answer: BLUFF
Explanation:
Teens need to shower even more as a result of puberty, especially during their
period. They need to pay extra attention to their bathing routine during their period,
for their comfort and also as part of their hygiene routine. They can use tampons or
menstrual cups when swimming.
• Statement D:
Normal lang ang pagkakaroon ng wet dreams.
Answer: FACT
Explanation:
This is completely natural—nocturnal emissions or “wet dreams”. This often happens
when people have dreams with sexual themes.
56
•
Statement E:
May 20 milyon sperm cells sa isang kutsaritang semilya.
Answer: FACT
Explanation:
Sperm count varies from about 20 million to 100 million sperm cells per ejaculation.
Healthy males produce 1.5ml to 5ml of semen each time they ejaculate. It takes only
one sperm to fertilize an egg.
•
Statement F:
Hindi ka mabubuntis kung first time mong makipag-sex.
Answer: BLUFF
Explanation:
A female may get pregnant any time she has sex without reliable birth control.
Sperm survive up to five days inside the female body and ovulation can happen
even during a menstrual period. Without protection there is a chance for the sperm
and egg to get together. A sexually active heterosexual couple who does not want
to get pregnant should always use reliable birth control.
•
Statement G:
Tumalon-talon pagkatapos makipag-sex para hindi ka mabuntis.
Answer: BLUFF
Explanation:
Male and female reproductive organs function to get semen in and keep it there.
Physical activity will not get semen out and thus cannot prevent pregnancy.

pencils (1 per participant),
Bingo Card Mock-up
Instruction:
1. Before the start of the game, be sure to mention and post the names of the class
adviser and the principal and their contact numbers on the board.
2. Present the mock-up of Circle of Friends Bingo card to the group (see Annex 6).
Explain the objective of the game. Each participant has to write down the name
or contact number needed in each Bingo card cell until all the cells are completed
— making a “Blackout Bingo Pattern.” Some information is written on the board.
Other information can be obtained by asking other parents/guardians in the group.
3. Give each participant a copy of the Bingo card. Have them use their pencils/
ballpens. Tell them that it is okay to leave some of the cells blank if they don’t
know the answer. The teacher will give another instruction to solve it.
4. Signal the group to start the game. Give them 15-20 minutes.
5. Tell them to return to their seats after the game.
6. Ask the group about their feelings/experiences during the game. Which part of
the activity did they find difficult and why?
7. Explain that the Bingo Card will serve as a simple directory of contacts in school
for their children. If parents/guardians have concerns with their children e.g.
assignments, projects, schedules or other issues, they can contact the correct people
listed in the directory. Knowing the people in the social life of their children will
strengthen the support system of children.
8. Ask them if they were able to complete the “Blackout pattern.” Tell them that
they have the whole quarter to accomplish the task. They should work with their
children to complete the cell, especially with the names of their best friends and
crushes. You may give students extra points/credits if they are able to complete
the task.
9. Explain that parents/guardians asking their children about their social life will
promote positive parent-child communication. Ask them not to lose their Circle of
Friends Bingo card.
