1. Citizenship

     Being a good citizen in your school community makes your school a better place.  Everyone needs to do his or her part.  For a more visual effect, stand on a ladder and drop down different characteristics of a citizen.  Put them on a long piece of paper with an accordion fold or tape construction paper together.

• Citizen (being a part of a community)
• Caring (be kind to others)
• Common Good (think of what’s good for everyone not just yourself)
• Community (be proud of your school and help others)
• Clean Up (pick up trash and keep space clean)
• Committees (join committees like the Student Council)
• Cash (bring Boxtops and HyVee receipts to school to earn cash)
• Carnival (help out and participate at the school carnival)

As you introduce each characteristic, drop down the next folded sheet.

See goodcharacter.com for other examples.
