Here is a powerpoint presentation detailing the importance, impact and some examples of decisions in our everyday lives. I created this as a PSHE homework project and my teacher used it to teach her other classes too.

1. Decisions

2.  They are vital in your everyday lives
 You make them everyday, both small and large
 We don’t always make good ones and today we will
learn how to make good ones.
I want to talk about this because…

the end of each slide

thinking about it.

Tips

13. Now…We’ll play a very simple
game
To practice our decision-making skills

14.  “Would You Rather?” is a game that involves
decision-making. It’s pretty simple.
 But there’s a catch: the first time you get the
question, you have to answer the question without
thinking.
 The second time you answer it you have to follow
the golden steps.
 Aim of the game: to see the difference of making
decisions without thinking and with thinking.
Would You Rather?

always eat candies for the rest of your life
