This workbook allows you to reflect and gain insight into who you are – Discovering and clarifying your values, identity and sense of belonging. We say “discover” or “clarify” because our values are already a part of us. We just need to dig a little and find them. Knowing and living your values is essentially a map on how to be more authentic (or more yourself).

Your personal values are like a roadmap to live your life by. The destination is your authentic expression. They will provide you with clarity and vision, as well as confidence to stay the distance. Knowing your values means that you can easily get back on track even if you stray off the path.

Everyone has personal values. By acknowledging and living your values you bring an awareness and rhythm to your life, a sense of inner peace and understanding. Aligning yourself with your values can also help you to live an authentic life.

By exploring and narrowing down your personal values through this workbook you are clarifying what is important to you and show a commitment to making those values a priority.

This mini-lesson explores the following:

This lesson on honesty and lying is ideal for your elementary school students. Of course, at times, our children tell lies on purpose. But, sometimes, children do not realize they are lying because they have not been taught the differences between the various types of lies. Teach all about the types of lying and why it can be harmful with this unique and engaging activity.  

“Types of Lies Town” is an interactive activity used to introduce students to the six types of lies. This activity allows children a safe and structured way to learn about the negative consequences of lying and a chance to reflect on their own behaviors and habits. 

Students will “take a tour” of the town and visit six different streets to learn the definitions, stories, and examples of the various types of lies.

This Resource Includes:

• Map
• Town Chart
• Six Types of Lies Posters and/or Mini Book of Stories/Examples
• Thirty-Six Situation Cards 
• Six Labels

Use the included materials to help you guide the discussion with children about lying. Help students to self-reflect on their own behaviors and the consequences of their actions. 

Increase student understanding of honest and dishonest behaviors as they tour Types of Lies Town.  

This resource includes information about the six following types of lies:

1. Compulsive Lies

2. Half-Truths

3. Exaggeration

4. Bold-Faced Lies

5. White Lies

6. Plagiarizing

Teach your students a lesson on honesty and lying with this unique “Type of Lies Town” activity! Practice social skills while playing this fun game.
