Description

Show what you know about mental health as we bust the stigma surrounding the subject with some home truths.
This activity is from the Scouts website https://www.scouts.org.uk/activities/true-or-false/

This activity helps contribute towards some of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Find out more about the SDGs, and how Scouts across the world are getting involved.

Resources

Before you begin

The person leading the activity should write ‘True’ on one sheet of paper and ‘False’ on the other with the pen.
Use sticky tack to fix the ‘True’ sheet at one end of the room and the ‘False’ sheet at the other.

Instructions

1- The person leading the activity should gather the group in the centre of the room. Explain that they will be doing a short quiz about mental health in young people. The person leading the activity should read out each statement and ask the group whether it is ‘True’ or ‘False’.

2- The group must choose whether to stand by the ‘True’ sheet or ‘False’ sheet, depending on which they think is the correct answer.

3- Read out the ‘Statements’ below twice, and then wait for the group to choose a side.
Once everyone has picked a side, the leader of the game should reveal whether the statement was true or false.

Reflection

The group has heard some statements about young people and mental health. How many of them were able to spot all of the truths and all of the falsehoods? Were any of the statements surprising?

It was up to the group to decide whether they thought the statements were true or false. Who has learned something new about mental health in young people? How will it change the way that they treat someone who they know has a mental health issue?
