Self-Awareness: Carl holds on tightly to the house because it reminds him of Ellie. Think of something you would not want to lose. Why is it so important to you?
Empathy: Russell has no one to go on adventures with, and Carl does not want him around at first. What might Carl have missed about how Russell felt? How can you tell when someone is lonely?
Responsible Decision-Making: Muntz spent his whole life chasing one goal and it made him do harmful things. Where did his choices go wrong? What would you tell someone who is willing to do anything to win?
Relationship Skills: Ellie's scrapbook says: "Thanks for the adventure. Now go have a new one!" What does that mean? How can an old friendship or a loved one help you keep going?
Personal Connection: Which character in the movie do you think you are most like and why? (Carl, Russell, Dug, Kevin, Ellie, Muntz, or another character)
