Welcome to the Secret Spectrum!

Introduce the topic by welcoming students and explaining that secrets can be safe or unsafe. Ask the students if they have ever heard about secrets and what they think makes them good or bad.

Safe Secrets

Present the idea that safe secrets are those that protect feelings or surprise plans (such as a birthday party) and do not hurt anyone. Use simple, clear language.

Unsafe Secrets

Discuss unsafe secrets. Explain that some secrets might be dangerous if kept because they hide problems or mistreatment. Encourage a supportive discussion with simple examples.

Remember...

Summarize the lesson and reinforce the key ideas. Stress the importance of talking to adults when something doesn't feel right, and review the main points discussed.
