Integrity is the act of consistently choosing to do the right thing. It is not a character trait that everyone naturally possesses — it must be developed over time. Developing integrity requires consistent actions and choices that align with values like being honest, fair, and respectful.
The All About Integrity handout is a helpful tool that guides clients in building a strong character. It explains the definition of integrity in simple terms for young people to understand. As well as why it matters, what it means to act with integrity, and how it looks in different settings such as home, school, and social interactions. The handout provides tips to help them further develop their integrity.
Using this handout to practice integrity helps kids and teens learn to uphold their principles and values, even in challenging situations or when no one is watching. To help them understand integrity better, parents and teachers can organize a creative activity like a puppet show or storytelling session. Participants can create their own characters, stories, and props to make the experience unique and personal.
Our Integrity Worksheets provide additional learning opportunities when paired with this handout.
