Even though the phrase "character education" is relatively new, the theme is timeless.  Children regularly need to make decisions based upon their own belief system and values, and the music and activities in this collection are written to put character topics in contemporary situations that kids can relate to and understand.  You will discover that exploring positive character traits can be done in a fun and interactive way using the songs and activities in this collection.  Units addressing manners, helpfulness, conflict resolution, learning from mistakes, empathy, peer pressure, sportsmanship and teasing are featured.  The performance accompaniment cd is included.  Grades 3-6.
