Role-playing scenarios activates embodied cognition, allowing children to physically engage with different viewpoints. This immersive experience enhances their capacity to understand and evaluate ethical complexities through peer interaction and discussion.

Discuss the implications of each choice openly. 5. Vote on which position resonates the most. 6. Reflect: How did your views change during the discussion?
