This ASK was hard for me! I am an introvert and feel very anxious talking to new people. Today, I saw a colleague that I've never really met, and I said "Hello." This led to a lovely conversation, and it turns out, he is a quite a nice guy!
For students, this is a great ASK, because it encourages them to break out from their small friend group and meet other people. Also, the person could be lonely or shy. Saying "Hello" is an easy way for students to be kind, and they might even make a new friend along the way!
Considerations for Schools:
- Younger students should be reminded that this does not contradict teachings of "Don't Talk To Strangers" and should be able to understand the difference!
- This may be difficult for some students who are very shy. Alternatives could include role-playing saying "Hello" to someone new with a guidance counselor or teacher.
