The three steps
HOW to build a House of Character™ are:
- Engagement: Hand out the cards to small teams of 4 to 8
- Processing: Invite students to discuss and then select which character traits they want on their foundation and then build their house.
- Debriefing and Reflection: Share with the larger group why they selected those traits and how they built it. Invite each team to describe the challenges and problem solving, leadership and teamwork skills to overcome these challenges.
