Character Compass - Student Development: 10 Lesson Plans + 200 Activities (Primary Education)

Character development is more than just learning manners; it's about cultivating the inner strength and social-emotional skills that will shape a child's entire life. In the early years, children are like sponges, absorbing information and developing the foundations of their personality. By focusing on character development, we equip them with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of the world with confidence, compassion, and integrity. These lessons will do a deep dive on:

1. Compassion - Understanding and caring deeply for others.
2. Happiness - Finding joy in everyday life and appreciating the good things around us.
3. Calm - Staying calm and centred even when things get tough.
4. Perseverance - Sticking with something even when it's challenging.
5. Helping Hands - Being kind and helpful to others, even when it's not convenient.
6. Integrity - Doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
7. Loyalty - Being loyal to your friends, family, and commitments.
8. Respectfulness - Treating others with kindness and respect, even when you disagree with them.
9. Discipline - Learning to control your emotions and make good choices.
10. Gratitude - Appreciating the good things in your life and expressing thanks.
