game is for players to collect one of each of the ten

character cards. Character cards have questions

and scenarios that players must respond to.** The

game is over when a player has collected each ofthe character cardsthough discussion of charac-

ter concepts can continue for as long as desired.

*Rather than 24 players, you may insteadorganize a class or group into 24 teams. Teammembers can take turns playing or play as agroupdiscussing their answers as a teambefore giving a final response to the full groupand collecting cards.

**In cases where children cannot offer aresponse, you may wish to lead players to

How to Play1.Shuffle the cards and deal out the entire deck to

players. Players are not allowed to look at the cards

and should keep them face down in a single pile.

2.In the first round, all players turn over their top

cards at the same time. The player who has the

highest-numbered card wins and keeps all of thecards that are played. Before collecting the cards,

the player with the winning card must give an

appropriate response to the question or scenario

that is on it. The person then may put the cards in

his or her Character Corneran area just off to theplayers side where cards can be laid out without

interfering in the game.

3.Before the second round begins, the player who

won the first hand determines whether the high or

low card played will win the round. All players then

turn over the top card of their respective piles.

The person with the high or low carddepending

on what was calledwins the hand. After appro-

priately answering the question or scenario fromthe winning card, the winner collects the cards

played in the round and places them in her or his

Character Corner.

4. The game is over when a player collects one of

each of the ten character cards.

Duplicate Cards:Players need to collect only onecard for each character trait. When players win

duplicate character cards, the duplicates are placed

in the discard pile. In the event all of the cards

from the initial deal are played without someone

winning the game, shuffle the discard pile andhave any players who are out of cards draw from it

to continue playing.

Ties:In the event that two (or more) players lay

down cards with the same winning number, each

player involved in the tie flips over another card.

The player with the high or low carddepending

upon what was called at the beginning of the

roundwins the hand. If the flip results in another

tie, the tied players continue turning over one card

at a time until the tie is

broken. (Note: In the

first round, the high

card played always

winsincluding in

tie-break situations.)

Others are qualities we cant seethoughts, ideas,

and beliefs that are important to us and that guide

our actions. These inside qualities make up our

character. Honesty, respect, and fairness are

examples of positive character traits.

Why Is Character Important?Character is important for many reasons. When we

show positive character traits:

we get along better with one another

we show care and support for others

we share and take turns when playing

we stay safe

we show respect for others

we are respected by others

we respect ourselves

we are trusted by others

we follow rules at home and in school

we are more likely to be treated well by others

These are only a few of the many reasons why

showing positive character traits is important. Feel

free to share some of your own with your class or

group. Also consider asking group members whythey believe character is important.

Caring:Caring is about showing concern for oth-

ers. Some ways we can show we care for others

include being kind, sharing, helping, and giving.

We also can care for objects, animals, and the envi-ronment by respecting these things and doing our

best to take care of them.

Citizenship:Citizenship is about following rules

and laws at home, in school, and in the com-

munity. Its also about taking an interest in theseplaces and doing what we can to improve life in

them. When were good citizens, everyone benefits

because rules are followed, we stay safe, and we

care for each other.

Cooperation: Cooperation means working or

playing together in a way that lets everyone par-

ticipate and feel respected. When we cooperate,

were able to do more. Activities also are more fun.

Cooperation helps us get along better with friendsand family members because we show respect for

each other and talk through problems.

Fairness:Fairness is about treating other people

the way we want to be treated. It means involving

others and sharing responsibility. Some ways we

can be fair are by sharing, taking turns, showing

respect, and following the rules of games we play

together.

Forgiveness:Forgiveness is about letting go of

angry or hurt feelings. It means accepting apolo-gies from those who upset us and forgiving them.

Forgiving others helps us to get along and build

relationships with people.

Honesty:Honesty is about telling the truth. It

also means not stealing or cheating. When were

honest, we show respect for others because we say

what were really thinking. When we are honest,

we also show respect for ourselves because were

doing what is right.

Relationships:Relationships are about sharing

the closeness between us and other people

including family, friends, and other people we

know. Relationships help us feel important. Some

ways we can build relationships are by spendingtime together, accepting others, listening, and

sharing.


11/12




Respect:Respect is about showing others that

we care about how they feel. We show respect

when we value the ideas, thoughts, and opinions

of others. Respect also means accepting and taking

care of ourselves. Finally, it includes taking care of

animals, the earth, and belongings.

Responsibility:Responsibility is about keeping

our word and making good decisions. Its aboutdoing whats righteven when its hard. When

were responsible, we show others we can be

trusted. Our actions and words are respectful, and

people know they can count on us.

Safety:Safety is about being free from harm or

risk. To be safe, we need to be careful and make

good decisions. Some ways that we can stay safe

are by following rules, getting the help of adults,

and standing up to people who ask us to do some-

thing we dont think

is safe or right.
