Give your children the opportunity to apply their moral values to real-life moral dilemmas. These problems are wonderful discussion problems that develop critical thinking skills and explore character-building issues.
Each activity presents children with an initial question for consideration (a moral dilemma) and then subsequent questions that change or compound the moral dilemma. Children must decide if these changes cause them to alter their decision or course of action. The group discussions allow students to learn and grow from listening to others' responses.
