What if?
Life is an accumulation of choices. The age-old ‘what if?’ tends to crop up most when we are rethinking a choice we have made, usually when we are not certain that we are happy with the consequences. Here, Emma makes a choice that contradicts her moral standing and experiences feelings of regret, guilt, and fear that she struggles to cope with. When the most popular girl in school: Narinder, makes an effort to be friendly with Emma, she is flattered. Flattery morphs into excitement when Narinder invites Emma to her house one Saturday and, desperate to impress her new buddy, Emma collects a few of her family’s prized possessions to take with her. This choice becomes a source of trauma as unbeknownst to Emma, Narinder’s cheeky brothers have swapped her family’s lovely things with their own shabby versions leading her to believe she has ruined everything:- the items she has taken, her family’s view of her, and her friendship with Narinder. Ultimately. Emma feels like a fraud. This primary school assembly story about impressing others is taken from More Brilliant Assembly Stories written by Elizabth Sach and published by Brilliant Publications.

Red the Black Labrador
Often it isn’t obvious why others are out of sorts, and it can be especially difficult for young children of primary school age to identify this, and understand it. In this assembly story, as soon as young Hector gets home from school, he notices that Red (his beloved Labrador) is feeling down. Alarmed, urgently sets about trialling every trick he can think of to enliven Red- from eagerly suggesting ‘Walkies’ and food to petting Red and questioning his doggy wellbeing; but this is all to no avail. Inspiration strikes and Hector goes to ask his big brother Rory if he can think of anything. Rory makes an exceedingly hostile host, but Hector is on a mission and refuses to budge until a diagnosis is formed. Rory admits to accidentally hurting Red, and Hector seizes the opportunity to persuade Rory to make amends with poor Red. This does the job and Red is back to his bonny self in no time! This primary school assembly story about perseverance is taken from More Brilliant Assembly Stories written by Elizabth Sach and published by Brilliant Publications.

Mario is on Report
In this primary school assembly story, Mario comes to realise that punishments aren’t worth it, moreover, that he quite likes being good. The compassion he receives from Miss Brierley surprises him, and he is intrigued when she challenges him to be well behaved, one step at a time. This goal-setting methodology is very effective as Mario feels constantly rewarded by each instance of good behaviour and looks ahead to the experience of a clean chart. Miss Brierley is wary of Mario’s short-temper and advises him to breathe deeply and count to 10 whenever he feels riled up. This technique comes in very handy when classmate Umah starts taunting Mario with the intention of deliberately getting him into trouble. Mario is fuming, but he refuses to give in to Umah’s goading, and instead trials his routine of breathing and counting, discovering that it successfully soothes him. Instead of reacting badly Mario has maintained his good streak and he is proud. He even learns to be kind, proffering Miss Brierley his artwork.

Spare a Thought for the Teachers
Younger children often have penchants for attention seeking, tantrums and sulking- with little warrant for their bad moods. Teachers who have encountered this kind of behaviour before will be relieved and grateful to understand that they are not alone and that it will come to a close! Miss Timms is a brand new teacher and she is very nervous about her first day in action. Much to her surprise, everything appears to be going swimmingly, at least until she meets Norman at lunchtime. Norman has decided to be especially stubborn because he isn’t getting his own way, and at first Miss Timms is struggling to have any impact on Norman. When she maintains a clear head, she manages to outsmart him though, and he begins to understand that his sulking is not going to amount to any success. Thus, Norman has learnt his lesson and Miss Timms has more confidence in her own abilities as a teacher to overcome her nerves. This story for Primary school assemblies will offer teachers who have struggled with students with similar behavioural complexities some solace, whilst demonstrating the importance of perseverance. This story very importantly makes mention of Miss Timms’ nerves, something which young children may very easily overlook and disregard, and therefore, knowing this urges them to be considerate - to ‘spare a thought’. Children are also provoked to have some faith in their teacher’s consideration too. Miss Timms doesn’t get angry or exasperated with Norman, only helps him to understand that his mulish attitude is futile. The story shows children that Norman’s attention seeking is pointless so that they are less likely to repeat similar behaviours – and instead, they should be more vocal about their desires and thoughts and will be much more likely to reach a resolution. Children are encouraged to be respectful of authority, and others in general.

Football Crazy!
John is a keen footballer. He is upset and insulted that he hasn’t been shortlisted for the school’s A Team-after all, his brothers had made it so why can’t he? One evening after training, in the midst of despair, John is cuddling his Dog for comfort when it hits him that this is what is bothering him; he is afraid of disappointing his family. He realises that his heart isn’t really in the game and as soon as he decides he is going to stop trying to be part of the team, he is relieved and overjoyed. Eager still to make his family proud, he lists alternative outdoorsy activities and settles on the Allotment club, establishing that this excites him far more. When he informs his family they are supportive of his decision to move onwards and upwards. This is very encouraging to primary school children who, like John, are nervous of upsetting their family if they don’t want to follow the path plotted for them. John’s family’s reaction will comfort children going through similar experiences. It is important for them to understand that the general consensus from loved ones is that as long as the person they love is happy so are they. John is a very strong role model for listeners as he is goal-orientated, headstrong and committed. He demonstrates that it is acceptable to break the mould: to do something different and unexpected. The story gives listeners the confidence and courage not just to submit to peer pressure or that from their family/school if they don’t want to. This tale for assemblies teaches the important lesson too that facing new challenges and making a change can be a really positive experience, and can make many more children feel included and happy. They should understand from this story that they will be accepted no matter what they choose and that they should never feel they have to do something if it is not what they want to do.
