Students explain the words and actions they see leaders use and list examples of how they might model leadership at home and in school.
Leadership comes in many forms.
From the most visible people in our communities, like the police or the mayor, to the unsung participants who make important and lasting impacts, students should be challenged to think about how leaders shape our lives with their words and actions.
This leadership worksheet is best used as an independent study as part of a lesson on leadership. It can also be completed with a guided small group or done as a whole class activity by projecting the worksheet via smartboard. Students are asked to reflect upon the following questions:
- What are some words you might hear a leader say?
- What are some actions you might see a leader do?
- What are some ways you can be a leader at home?
- What are some ways you can be a leader at school?

As a challenge activity, ask students to draw pictures for each question on the resource page, then write 4 to 6 sentences explaining their detailed responses on a separate piece of lined paper.
Students struggling with this concept might be supported by brainstorming 2 to 3 words that exemplify leadership and having them write them at the top of their page. They could then use the words to draw pictures (instead of writing complete sentences or bullet-pointed phrases) to answer the questions listed.
