Respect is a character trait that is hoped for, emphasized, and cherished both at school, at home, and in the community. It is a characteristic that, when possessed, helps to bring success to a person’s goals and dreams as well as to their relationships with both peers and adults.

There are many ways to help students understand and develop respect for themselves and others. Respect Bingo is one of these. In this game-like format students learn actions that contribute to their own well being as well as the actions that help others to form positive opinions about them. Each gameboard has five columns: caring for self, working with others, fairness in play, responsibility at home, and trustworthy actions. The leader draws a calling card, calls out the title of the column and then the action associated with it. Players can then cover a square on their card if they have one that matches what has been called. Also included are reproducible activity sheets which will further reinforce the concepts being presented.
