Introduction
The workbook is intended mainly to facilitate and promote values practices of
students beyond classrooms. The information and activities in the workbook will
help students reflect on values learned during instructional lessons, plan and practise
the values in their daily lives at homes and in schools. Further, students can use the
information given in the workbook during values lessons conducted by class teachers
in schools.
The workbook provides at least an activity each for each value under five core value
themes. The student will carry out each activity for a week so that they get enough
time to value practices in their daily lives.
However, to carry out the activities in the workbook, individual students will need an
active support of teachers, parents, peers, siblings and caregivers. The teachers and
elders at homes will need to explain and guide them on the process of carrying out
each value activity or activities for at least a week.

A class football match

Class I children have a wonderful football team. They mostly

win football matches because of Pema and Chimi who are good
players.

One day, the class captain came to them

and said, “Pema and Chimi, tomorrow we
have a very important match at 6:00 am.
You are the best players of our class.
Be on time and give your best. We are
looking forward to winning the match.

Next day when Pema and Chimi woke up in

the morning, it was already 7:00 am. They
hurried to the playground.

But they were late! Their team could not

play the match because the team was not
complete without Pema and Chimi.

The Hare and the Tortoise

Once upon a time there was a

hare and a tortoise. They were
good friends. They used to meet
and play every day. The hare
always said that he could run
faster than the tortoise.

So one day, they decided to have a

race. They decided a starting and a
finishing point. The hare ran really
fast and soon left the tortoise far
behind. He thought that the tortoise
was too slow and he can rest for a
while. So he stopped under a tree
and went to sleep.

Meanwhile, the tortoise

walked the whole time and
reached the winning point.
When the hare woke up he
saw that the tortoise had
already won the race.

The Rainbow Fish

Once upon a time in a big river

lived a fish with shiny, multi-
coloured scales named the
Rainbow Fish. He always liked
his scales.

But one day, a small

fish asked him for one
of the shiny scales.
The Rainbow Fish
refused in a very
rude way. The other
fish were really upset
about his behaviour
and did not play with
him anymore.

Feeling upset, he went to talk to his only friend left, the Starfish,
who told him to go visit the Octopus for an advice. The Rainbow
Fish went to the octopus.

The octopus told him that he must share the beautiful scales
with his friends.

Thereafter when he met the small fish, the Rainbow Fish gave
her one of his scales and, seeing the joy of the little fish, he
felt happy in sharing.

Very soon the Rainbow Fish was surrounded by other fish asking
him for his shiny scales and he shared with each of them.

Living by the truth

It was a Saturday evening

in TashiThang Town. App
Kado took his two children to
watch a new Bhutanese movie,
Namkhai Dawa. He walked up
to the person at the ticket
counter and said, “How much
is it to get in?”

The person replied, “Nu. 50.00 for you and Nu. 10 for any child
who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or
younger. How old are they?” App Kado replied, “My son is eight
and the daughter is five, so I guess I owe you Nu. 60.00, Nu. 50
for me and Nu. 10 for my son.”

The person at the ticket counter said, “Wai, Appa, did you just
win the lottery? You could have saved yourself Nu. 10. Even if
you have told me that your son was six; I would not have known
the difference.” App Kado replied, “Yes, that may be true, but
the kids would have known the difference.”
