Teacher: "Good morning, class. Let's start with a small puzzle. I am something everyone can give, but no one can buy. I grow when it's shared, and I can make someone cry (tears of joy). I am not money, but I can change the world. What am I?" Allow 1-2 minutes for thinking. Teacher: "Let's hear your hypotheses. Don't worry about being right, just share your thoughts." Possible prompts: "Is it connected to feelings? To actions?" Teacher (after several guesses): "Excellent ideas. The answer I was thinking of is 'Kindness' or 'Help'. And today, we will talk about a very organized form of help: Working for charity. How do you think kindness and charity are connected?" |

They engage in a brief discussion connecting the riddle to the lesson topic. | Oral (AfL). Teacher observes student engagement and the variety of hypotheses, encouraging all contributions. | Whiteboard/Projector (for riddle text).
