Discussion Prompts for Children
- If you discovered something helpful (like an opportunity, skill, or good habit), how would you guide others just like ants leave a trail?
- Imagine you are the scout ant. What is one new positive thing you want to explore this week—like a new hobby, a good habit, or a goal?
- Ants work together. Can you share a time when teamwork helped you? How can teamwork help you now?
- Ants don’t stop when something blocks their way. Think of a challenge you faced—how could you take a different path like an ant?
- Ants lift things heavier than themselves. What is one heavy thing (emotion, responsibility, worry) you wish someone could help you carry?
