Adventures: Animated Lessons for Character Development – Reinforcing character traits in children in an entertaining, fun and memorable way
Children and adults alike love a good story – especially one with powerful messages. Now the popular series, first appearing on PBS television, has been adapted for the classroom. Adventures: Animated Lessons for Character Development is based upon William J. Bennett’s best-selling book The Book of Virtues and brings to life important lessons of character for students in pre-K through third grade.
Adventures is based on the concept that each of us is responsible for our own actions. The series offers ideal role models from literature, while demonstrating how these heroes have handled difficult situations and tough choices. Character traits covered in the Adventures series include:
- Honor
- Citizenship
- Integrity
- Respect
- Responsibility
- Trustworthiness
Through the eyes of Annie and Zach – two kids who live in fictitious Spring Valley, along with a cast of characters including Plato the Buffalo and his animal kingdom pals Aristotle, Socrates and Aurora – children learn to handle the same issues and pressures kids face everywhere. Plato lives in the hills and has taken some of the world’s great character-building stories and collected them in a book, which helps guide Annie and Zach down the right path when they are faced with difficult situations.
Great for character education requirements, after-school programs, camps, daycare centers and home use, Adventures combines engaging, high-quality animation and skill-based print resources to teach and illustrate positive life skills and character traits.
The Adventures Series Includes...
- Six DVDs, each with three stories focused on one character trait, engaging students with entertaining tales
- Comprehensive Teacher Resource Manual
- Lesson plans provide clear objectives, accessible materials, copy-ready handouts and detailed discussion questions
- Extension activities provide options to expand upon the character traits, engage children with different learning styles and reinforce positive behaviors beyond the classroom environment.
“Character counts, and heroes and tales in literature are a great tool for teaching it.”
– Bruce D. Johnson, Adventures Executive Producer and President & CEO of Porchlight Entertainment
