What is Personal Space?

Discuss what personal space means and ask students to share their ideas. Use guiding questions to encourage thinking about what it feels like to have your own safe space.

Interactive Role Play

Explain that the group will now have some fun role play activity where they act out different situations about asking for space and respecting boundaries. Prepare the [Role Play Activity Cards](#healthy-boundaries-role-play-activity-cards) before this slide.

Wrap-Up & Reflection
