Teaching Kids How to Be Generous

Teaching kids how to be generous is a compilation of the activities and lessons that are found in my character building education series.

It’s this time of year where we hear a lot of “I want…” statements from our kids. I would hate for Christmas time to be centered around teaching my kids to be selfish.

Christmas is about Jesus coming into the world and doing the opposite of me, me, me. He came to demonstrate what it means to be a servant. With His example, we recognize that teaching kids how to be generous is a better message that should ring out loudly.

The lessons, however, can be taught throughout the year using the activities found in this character building series. We do that by demonstrating it, but we also do it by intentionally teaching through books, activities, and crafts.

About my Character Building Series

Todays round-up ideas are taken from my character building series and can be found under the generosity tab. If you are new to my character building series, let me tell you a little bit more about these lessons.

If you check out my character building tab, you will discover 52 character traits we work on throughout the year, which equals one word per week to focus on with your kids. Hovering over the tab will reveal all of the words.

Each character trait has 7-9 lessons, so if you wanted to work on character daily, this can be an amazing resource.

This year, I have been focusing cleaning up my character building education series by presenting the lessons to you be compiling all of my lessons on a particular week, this week focusing on generosity.

In this series, you will find a word, definition, scripture to memorize, book lists and a number of activities and crafts related to the topic. I have also included links to other bloggers who have lessons on the trait. I hope you are inspired to work on building character with your kids because being intentional in your parenting will help give great direction to both you and your children.
