The Invisible Boy
The Invisible Boy is about a boy named Brian. Nobody ever seemed to notice him or think to include him in their group, game, or birthday party...until, that is, a new kid comes to class.
Discussion Questions:
1. Have you ever tried to join a group, game or activity and the other kids wouldn’t let you? If yes, how did that make you feel?
2. At lunchtime, all the kids were talking about the party that Brian wasn’t invited to. Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation as Brian, with kids talking about the fun things they’ve done with each other in front of you and you weren’t included or invited? If yes, how did that make you feel?
3. What do you think is worse, being laughed at or feeling invisible? Why?
Activity: On chart paper, brainstorm things you can do to make others feel valued and appreciated. Keep the chart visible, so you can refer to it as needed.
