This Flash movie introduces the idea of the Octaikon to children of 7-12 years, focussing on the idea of “balance” in achieving good relationships. There are 15 lessons (16 and 17 are blank), which should take 5-10 minutes each, depending on the extent of interaction and discussion with the children. The many comments and questions that are included in the story line are not exhaustive, and the idea is that the teacher should expand and add as he/she sees fit. You'll need sound for this movie. To run through each lesson, click the continue button when you are ready. For full teacher's notes, download the Word document here.
