Śmigus-dyngus with respect

Students explore the water-splashing tradition and agree on boundaries so the play remains safe.

Steps

1. We discuss the historical origins and symbolic springtime renewal behind the custom.
2. Students share real-life examples of when playful teasing crosses into discomfort.
3. We establish classroom etiquette (always ask permission, no drenching strangers or on cold days).
4. We record these consensus rules onto a poster.

Tip: This offers an organic opportunity to discuss personal boundaries and enthusiastic consent.
