First, we came up with a definition for a dare and discussed how some dares can be good, while others might not be. The highlight of our lesson was a role-playing activity called "Dan's Dare". We used the Teacher-in-Role strategy, where the teacher acted as a character named Dan who had a tricky situation with a dare. We learned about how Dan's friend, Zak, used persuasive language to try and get him to do things that made him feel uncomfortable. Afterward, we discussed what Dan could have done differently to stand up for himself. We also role-modeled a few dares to see what they look like in real life. We practiced a "good" dare, like hugging a friend , which is a fun and positive way to be daring. We also discussed and role-played a situation that wasn't a good dare, such as daring someone to hit someone, and talked about why that might be a wrong choice. This helped us understand how to recognise what to do if we are ever asked to do something that makes us feel uneasy. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-D2E18F2F-9E6F-4776-9D46-EE7F2C934856.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1211(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-13-year-5-art) Previous ### [Year 5 - Art](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-13-year-5-art) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-FEED123E-CA3C-46A9-93BA-B4540A87DF3D.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-15-year-3-computing-making-our-own-podcast) Next ### [Year 3- Computing- Making our own podcast](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-15-year-3-computing-making-our-own-podcast) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
