The Challenge

One way I try to help my children grow is to implement character education into our everyday play.  Just one or two activities or conversations each day… it only takes a few moments but I’m convinced it makes a big difference – to them, to our family, and to the world around us.

The activities I share on this website are simple and require very few materials.  They are not fancy and I don’t try to make them look “perfect.”  I value process and experience more than the physical outcome.  I believe meaningful lessons can be simple and fun, and that it is valuable for every family member to spend a few moments a day learning the important concepts of character education.

This page contains links to the character building activities our family has enjoyed as part of The Moments A Day Family Challenge.  By 24 May 2014 I published over 365 activities (read about my post on the subject in this post).  To find out more about the challenge and why I created it in the first place, check out the very first post from my blog: The Challenge Begins.

I shared a list of 52 acts of kindness you can do with your family in this post.  To help families record and learn about kindness from their experiences, I created a printable ebook called 52 Acts of Kindness: A Family Scrapbook of Kindness in Every Season.  (Find out more about the ebook here.)
