Monday- Project: GROWING INTEGRITY ONE PETAL AT A TIME
Materials: You will need construction paper of different colors, crayons, colored pencils or
something to color with, you can even use watercolors if you choose and something to write
with, scissors, glue, and your family to discuss this project.
With your family you will talk about what INTEGRITY means to you. You will make a list
of what INTEGRITY looks like: being honest, sharing, being kind, caring, doing what you
say you will do etc. Each member will use a sheet of paper, draw a flowerpot, and then add
the stem either by drawing it and coloring it in or using construction paper. Then add the
center of the flower (your choice of color). You will then add the petals. On each petal you
will write one thing from your list to show the importance of INTEGRITY to your family.
If you listed the word “honesty,” then also include what you will be honest about and do
that for each petal.
Your family can display your flowers in your home as a reminder the importance of
INTEGRITY.
There are a few pictures attached to give ideas how to complete this project, but you can be
creative with your own imagination as there are no limits.
Tuesday- Project: CREATING A FAMILY INTEGRITY MOTO
Materials: You can use construction paper, or white paper, markers, crayons, colored
pencils, and each other to brainstorm your Moto. You can also use decorations for your
picture. This is totally up to you to decide! Be creative and use your imagination.
Together, you will sit and think, “What Does INTEGRITY Mean to Our Family?” What
Does INTEGRITY Look Like to You? What Are the Things That You Must do to Live
Your Life With INTEGRITY? And then think about what would happen if you did not do
those things.
Once you make a list, you will design a picture together, and create your family moto to
represent your ideas. There are a few ideas attached below. You can display your creation
in your home when you have completed it.
Wednesday- Project: USING NATURE TO CREATE ART- MANDALA
Materials: You will need leaves, sticks, rocks, flowers, grapevine, (anything from nature).
You will also need a large piece of construction paper or heavy cardstock. You will need
somewhere to lay your items. If you plan to keep this project, you may need glue to fasten
your items to the paper.
You and your family will take a 30–45-minute nature walk together. You will collect things
to use to make a mandala. (when collecting your materials keep in mind that when making
a mandala, you will repeat over and over what you are using). You may want to draw it
while on your walk, so take paper and pencil with you. Once you have collected your
materials, you will take them home or to a place where you can lay them out onto the
paper.
Think about the mandala and how it can be incorporated with the lesson on INTEGRITY.
What does a mandala do? It repeats itself, right. So, when you are honest, respectful, kind,
and show INTEGRITY to others what does that typically make other people do? They
copy your good deeds and positivity. It creates a positive cycle of good deeds.
Thursday- Project: SHOWING INTEGRITY TO WILDLIFE
Materials: You will need your family to brainstorm, white paper or construction paper,
crayons, colored pencils, watercolors, or anything to color your picture with. You will also
need whatever decorations of your choice for your picture: sequins, glitter, googly eyes, etc.
You will sit with your family and discuss ways that you are respectful, and show integrity
when outside in your community: do you throw trash in the trashcan, does your family
recycle, do you clean your yard from debris and trash, does your family help neighbors to
keep a clean yard? Do you help at school or in your community to clean up streams, ponds,
or the grounds of the school? How does this affect and help the animals that live around
your community and home? Choose an animal that lives locally and create a picture of that
animal. You can choose more than one animal if you would like. You will use the materials
of your choice to create your animal, then display them in your home as a reminder to
always show INTEGRITY.
Friday- Project: MORE THAN ONE RIGHT WAY TO BE CREATIVE
Materials: The materials today are totally up to you! You can use your imagination and let
it run wild.
You and your family members will choose one item: it can be a person, an animal or an
object like a tree shown below, or an apple, anything at all. The tricky part is that you will
re-create this item 6 different ways.
The lesson is that it does not matter how we are made, what we look like on the outside, we
are all equally special on the inside. It is important to learn the concepts of honesty,
respect, loyalty and INTEGRITY because those lessons make you who you are on the
inside.
