Fun with Character: Military Loyalty
Our military veterans truly know the meaning of loyalty. Consider inviting a veteran, possibly related to a student, to come in and speak on the subject of loyalty and what it meant to them during their service and what it might mean to them now.
Discuss what loyalty looks like in a family, among friends, or on a sports team. Identify what people might feel loyal to that they shouldn’t – fashion, sports team fanatic, or a friend who is trying to talk them into doing something they know they shouldn’t do.
