🧠 Welcome to the Growth Mindset Game Show – Interactive Activity

Real-world examples help children to understand a topic or skill a little bit better. This interactive activity will provide students with questions, and the students will be required to either think of what they would do, act out what they would do, write what they would do, talk to their friends about what they would do, or decide on if a statement is true or false. This mixture of questions provides many opportunities for children to show their understanding of the importance of having a growth mindset.
