Fun with Character: Think
This activity is based on this poster that was found on Etsy.
Discuss the poster with the class. Have them think of examples that would qualify for each word and ones that would not. As a reminder, have them create their own version of the poster as follows. Have your students trace their hand. In the palm they will write the word THINK. On each finger they will write the words for each letter in the word THINK.
In case the link is no longer active the poster said:
Before you speak, THINK
T Is it Truthful?
H Is it Helpful?
I Is it Inspiring?
N Is it Necessary?
K Is it Kind?

Will you remember how you felt when someone hurt your feelings and THINK before you say something hurtful?
