Agreements are rules that people decide, together, to follow.

Ask the students to brainstorm a list of agreements like:

• Paying attention to each other;
• Keeping our hands to ourselves; and
• Giving everyone a turn to speak.

As the students share, write down their ideas, or draw pictures to represent their ideas.

Ask the students to raise their hands or say “I agree” to show that they agree to the list of agreements. 

Tell the students that you can return to the list of agreements in the future to add or recommit.
