*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

- What’s the best celebration you’ve had for your birthday? What made it so special

- Which would you enjoy attending more: a big party with lots of kids or a small party with just a few kids? Why?

- Splitting your time by attending only part of each of two parties that were scheduled at the same time seems fair, but it may cause problems. What are the downsides of that solution? (Hint: think of how the birthday kid, other guests, and you might feel.)

- If a close friend invites you to their birthday party but you can’t attend, what are some things you can do to show that friend you care about them?
