$5 - $10 Character Education Projects

Description:

Embark on a transformative journey with "Discovering Me," a comprehensive personal identity research project tailored for middle school students. This engaging resource, crafted with a focus on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and community building, invites students to delve deeply into five key aspects of their identity: Name, Family, Interests, Character Traits, and Values.

What’s Inside:

• Intriguing Name Exploration: Through family interviews and literary excerpts like "My Name" from "House on Mango Street," students unravel the story behind their names.
• Family Dynamics and Connections: Activities to identify immediate and chosen family members, accompanied by reflective writing prompts around their experiences and the text "Hanging Fire" by Audre Lorde.
• Interests and Hobbies: A dynamic digital scrapbook project that lets students showcase their unique hobbies and interests!
• Personality Traits Analysis: An 'Agree, Disagree, Modify' exercise, encouraging students to introspect and discuss various personality traits.
• Values Exploration: Engaging 'This or That' activities with follow-up writing prompts, aiding students in uncovering their core values.

Educational Objectives:

• Cultivate self-awareness and empathy.
• Enhance communication and presentation skills.
• Foster a sense of community and understanding among classmates.

Customizable and Curriculum-Integrated:

• Easily adaptable for diverse learning environments.
• Seamlessly integrates with SEL, community building, and project-based learning frameworks.

Engagement and Support:

• Students connect personally and meaningfully with each task.
• Includes guides, rubrics, and a PDF of interview questions for comprehensive support.

"Discovering Me" is more than just a project; it's a journey into the heart of what makes each student unique. It's perfect for educators looking for an 'assign and go' solution that resonates on a personal level and builds classroom camaraderie.

Here are FOUR simple activities you can do as a class to help review the books of the Bible:

Old Testament Game

The first is simply books of the Old Testament that students put in order as quickly as possible then say the names of the books together to review.

New Testament Game

The second is books of the New Testament that are placed in order on the frames to review.

I have also added six pages that can be used in digital resources by filling in the missing books of the Bible.

Fun Facts Activity

There is also an information page with six facts about the books of the Bible. I send this home as homework for students to learn the facts, decorate and bring back for a treat.

Individual New Testament Game

My favorite activity is a board game you can use as an individual activity or as partners. The board is printed in black and white on paper. Kids will roll a dice or spin a spinner to move their game piece. They color the piece where they land as well as say the books of the Bible as they go. The game continues until the board is completely colored.

After playing these games several times, students are much more familiar with the books of the Bible and some will be able to recite them by memory. I use these activities in Children's Church and the kids really enjoy it!
