Integrity is when you do what is right, even if it is hard.
Talking Points:
- Integrity at home. Don’t let your siblings get in trouble for something you did.
- Integrity with friends. Don’t gossip about one of your friends. Treat others the way you want to be treated!
- Integrity also means that you are the same person no matter where you are. So if you act one way around your parents, you should act the same way around your friends, teachers, and coaches.
Discussion:
- Initial reactions to this topic? What jumped out at you?
- Why is integrity important? Why is it always better to tell the truth even if it means getting in trouble?
- As a class, come up with examples of ways you can have integrity at home and at school.
- Why is gossip hurtful? Why don’t good friends do that to others?
- If your parents watched you at recess, would they say you act differently there? Explain. How should you act no matter who is around?
