October has been the month of trustworthiness. We have been taking activities, discussions and ideas out of a book that outlines the pillars of character. So our first introduction to trustworthiness was the "falling" exercise. First, we asked the kids if there was someone in the room they trusted; they all raised their hand. Next, we asked them to pair up with someone they trusted. Then we explained the "falling" exercise and asked each pair to go ahead and try it. Some of the kids had a difficult time, but finally trusted their partner to catch them. Eventually, everyone did it, and also had a good giggle out of it. The exercise was an overall success, the kids learned to really trust each other, and how important trust really is.
