Circle the best answer for each question.
1. What makes someone a good leader in class?
A) Telling everyone what to do
B) Following the rules and setting a good example
C) Being the loudest student
D) Only helping their friends
Classmates watch what leaders do more than what they say, so a good class leader follows the rules first and shows everyone else how it is done.

A) Let everyone else do the work
B) Do your part and help others finish theirs
C) Talk about something else the whole time
D) Tell the teacher the project is too hard
A group project only finishes well when each person completes their job and pitches in when teammates need help, because nobody should carry the work alone.

A) So you can be first outside
B) So everyone stays safe and gets out quickly
C) So you miss more class time
D) So the alarm stops ringing faster
Fire drills teach a quick, orderly escape path, so following the rules means every student can exit the building fast and without getting pushed or lost.
4. A friend wants you to break a classroom rule. What should you do?
A) Break the rule so they stay your friend
B) Say no and explain why the rule matters
C) Pretend you did not hear them
D) Tell every other student about it
A true friend will understand when you say no, and explaining why the rule matters helps them think twice instead of getting you both in trouble.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A good leader follows the rules and sets a good example.
When a leader sets a good "example," others copy their actions, so leading with kindness and rule-following makes the whole group act better.
2. Working together as a team is called teamwork.
"Teamwork" combines everyone's ideas and effort, and that sharing of strengths gets jobs done faster than any one person could alone.
3. During a fire drill, you should walk in a quiet line.
A quiet "line" lets you hear the teacher's instructions and keeps the exit clear so every class can leave the building without bumping into each other.
4. Saying no to breaking a rule shows you have good character.
Your "character" is the kind of person you are inside, and standing up to do right even when pressured proves yours is strong and trustworthy.
5. Good citizens help make their school a better place for everyone.
Small acts like picking up trash or being kind add up, making the school a "better" place where every student feels welcome and cared for.
