Twenty different games and activities that introduce character-related vocabulary, differentiate between positive and negative character traits, and promote decision-making skills.

Each game can be completed in one class period. The gamekit includes a leader's guide with detailed instructions for each game plus the necessary materials to play each game. Common, easy-to-find, supplementary materials are required in some instances. Students will delight when playing Pyramid Character Building or relating good and rotten foods to positive and negative character traits. Each exciting game is a learning experience that will make students look forward to the next lesson. Playing these games help students develop the skills of listening, following directions, and sportsmanship. A fun way to teach an important topic.
