emotions, character strengths, and positive relationships through
100+ easy-to-implement activities such as student diaries,
classroom displays and letter writing campaigns. It also includes
tools and strategies that go beyond the classroom, helping to embed
character education into the culture and ethos of the entire
school. Each chapter will include a short introduction to the

busy teachers.
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.
