The Mistake Nobody Wanted to Admit
On a rainy Thursday, a soft ball knocks Maple Class's paper bridge to the floor, and nobody says a word. Watch the film, pop the guesses, lift the heavy stone, help Ben find the courage to tell the truth and mend the honesty bridge, triangle by triangle.
For the whole class on a whiteboard, or on a tablet or laptop. Turn on 👥 Teams to play in two teams. Nothing children type, tap or say is saved or sent.
