We received a few items from We Choose Virtues to review.
Virtue Clues- These cards are business sized sturdy cards. There are 12 cards, one for each virtue, conveniently placed in a clear plastic card holder. Each virtue card is colorfully illustrated and contains a sentence explaining the virtue, the opposite of the virtue and a clue on the back to remind the child of the proper behaviour.
Kids of Virtue Coloring book- This book is made up of one coloring page for each virtue character and a few fun activities.
List of memory verses- a memory verse for each virtue and a Bible hero who illustrates each virtue.
An Assessment quiz- Rate yourself or family on each virtue.
Teacher's Guide- Explains in 4 simple steps how to teach virtues. It also teaches you how to use the tools offered by We Choose Virtues.
To use the virtue cards I printed the coloring books, quiz, and memory verses. I explained the virtues as I filled out the quiz to see where we were starting as a family. Then I chose one virtue to start with and passed out the coloring page for it. I explained the virtue and the children and I practiced how and how not to use the virtue obedient. The children then colored the coloring page. We kept the Obedient card out in a convenient spot so we could review it throughout the day. We followed the suggestions in the Teacher's Guide and focused on one virtue per week. Whenever a child was having a problem being obedient it was easy to grab the card and read off the reminder of what obedience means.
I felt the cards were a simple but effective tool. The cards are easy enough to take with you anywhere and make a great reminder of what the virtue is for the week when you see it. I think incorporating virtue training in daily family life and homeschool is important and We Choose Virtues offers some helpful tools with a positive focus to the Christian family.
I used the cards with my children ages 3-11 but the company lists them as useful for up to age 18. I don't think my teen would want to use the cards but I can include him in any discussions we have about the virtue we are working on.
