Leader Resource 5: Ethics Play Scenario 4 - Family
Tapestry is Sunsetting
The UUA is no longer updating Tapestry of Faith programs.
There are six Ethics Play scenarios. Scenarios stand alone from the themes of any particular session, so you may use them with any session. The roll of the dice determines which scenario you use and which question you ask. Mark questions as you use them, to avoid repetition in future sessions. See Description of Activity for further directions.
- It is your sibling’s turn to do laundry. When they complain of having too much homework, you volunteer to do the laundry. Your sibling does not thank you. While preparing the laundry, you find a five-dollar bill in your sibling’s pocket. What do you do?
- Your sibling has a crush on someone. That person likes you more than they like your sibling. Your sibling’s crush likes you more than your sibling. They invite you to a party and say not to tell your sibling or invite them. What do you do?
- Your uncle just got a car that is very bad for the environment. You told him that was wrong the day he did it, and said you would never ever ride in it. Now he wants to take you to a movie in it. What do you do?
- Your older sibling was driving the family car while you were in it. They hit another car and bent the fender badly. The accident was your sibling’s fault but they told your parents it was not. You promised you would not tell your parents but now you are mad at your sibling for something else. What do you do?
- The pet cat you love is dying. Your parents will not pay $100 for medicine because they say the cat is so old it will die soon anyway. You have $175 that you have saved for a bicycle. What do you do?
- You stole some money at school. You did not mean to do that, but somebody left it in an open locker and suddenly it was in your pocket. You think your younger sibling knows and that they might be going to tell. What do you do?
