Character Toolkit Strength Cards

Growing up presents many challenges and positive learning experiences. Helping young people understand, name and talk about their and other peoples' strengths can improve their relationships with their friends, family, and the wider community. The interactive Character Toolkit Strength Cards enable children to learn, recognise and express all sides of their character. The cards promote character strengths such as perseverance, grit and leadership alongside moral and civic strengths such as gratitude and kindness. These cards have been designed to allow teachers, parents and counsellors in coaching settings to explore all character strengths within children. Included is a booklet of different activities that provide suggestions for using the strengths cards. These include activities that encourage children to describe the strength they are most proud of, or how to identify strengths in others around them. These positive, helpful and authentic strengths cards will be a useful classroom resource, focusing on encouraging the next generation to be their best self.
