Lying Worksheet

Sometimes people are unaware of lies they tell or how they came to telling the lie.  This worksheet dissects a lie.  The worksheet could also be used to look at a behavior, perhaps with someone who bullies others.


One way to use this with a family is to have each person write down a lie they told during the past month - privately.  Then when everyone is done, you can ask them to share - most likely they won't like the idea.  This leads to a discussion of how it felt to write it, how it felt when asked to share, etc.  Then this handout can be used to further examine the lie for each person.  A discussion about the experience of lying can ensue.

If you are working with an individual, you can start with the worksheet.
