What students learn at the assembly
Character defines who you are and what you do when no one’s looking. For example, whenever we find ourselves in a specific compromised situation, we may feel justified to react practically as long as we can get away with it. We often defend our actions because it’s normal; others would have done the same thing.
But is it right? Whenever we encounter a difficult situation, how should we respond? Putting others before ourselves can often be difficult, but it should be a high priority.
The Character Counts Magic Program helps make students aware of their responsibility to others and works towards creating a caring community in their school.
The Importance of Good Character
This program teaches students the importance of developing good character. The show is designed to teach children six techniques for developing good character. The children will learn about trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship throughout the program. These often abstract concepts are explained fun and magically, so children are guaranteed to remember them!
How to Develop Strong Character Traits
During the program, students will learn the magic word “Terrific” (T.R.R.F.C.C.), an acronym for solid character traits. Our objective is to help the students understand that creating a caring community in their school is their responsibility. Students will also learn that their actions have consequences. The show tells a fascinating story about the importance of good character using illusion and puppetry, all while incorporating audience participation. The goal is to create a special message with a lasting impact.
The following character traits will be emphasized:
- Trustworthiness: Being honest and reliable.
- Respect: Following the golden rule and learning tolerance.
- Responsibility: Perseverance and self-control.
- Fairness: Playing by the rules and sharing.
- Caring: How to express compassion, gratitude, and kindness.
- Citizenship: Making your community better.
