Ages 6 - 12: Reading to Be a Better Me
This FREE PROGRAM teaches 10 core character traits through the reading
and discussion of children's literature. Many of the characters in
these books demonstrate virtues to which we should all aspire.
Discussion of those virtues is followed by supporting activities.
For example:
Children learn COURTESY through creative crafts, such as making and
sending thank you cards.
RESPECT for other people and their property is portrayed in a fun,
interactive skit in which each child plays a role.
Too good and too easy not to share! Contact us and we will email you lesson plans, suggested literature list and activities for this
program. Once you have the basics, you can easily adapt this for various age groups.
Ages 13 - 18: Character Under Construction
Hands-on team building exercises create the foundation to teach the
10 core character traits to today's teens.
