This board game is specifically designed to challenge students to think critically about important character issues. They will learn what constitutes good character (and bad character) and what character means in terms of the quality of relationships with family, friends, and adults at school.
The dimensions of character built into the game include:
trustworthiness
respect for others
responsibility
honesty
respect for self
caring
compassion
fairness
loyalty.
Part of the learning experience is for the students to come up with their own list based on their experiences in the game and in life in general. The moral issues in the game have been carefully selected so that they represent common beliefs held by school administrators, parents, and religious organizations. The specific examples reflect the character traits listed above.
Grades 5-8, also high interest material for older special needs students.
