Celebrate CHARACTER COUNTS! Week however it works for your school or organization! If you need help, we’ve organized celebration ideas for each day.

Here's what we've planned to celebrate Trustworthiness on Monday. You can also find corresponding slides to these resources on our CHARACTER COUNTS! Week page.

Choose any or all of the plans that work best for your students.

Elementary
Write about a time someone trusted you. How did you feel?

Secondary
Think of a time when telling the truth was difficult. What did you do, and how did it affect your relationships?

Elementary
     Loyalty: Standing by someone even when things are hard.

Secondary
     Integrity: Doing the right thing when no one is looking.

Try using these quotations about trustworthiness as a discussion or journal prompt.

Conversation Starter
Being trustworthy means doing what you say, even when no one is watching. Who is someone that always keeps their word?

Activity: Trust Jar
Any time a family member demonstrates trust or sees another family do so, write it down and put it in a Trust Jar. On Saturday, read all of the ways your family showed trust this week and discuss why trust is important to your family.
