The following resources are included in this Character Traits Bundle:

Character Traits Centers

First Center: Character Trait Mazes

Students are given a character trait. In order for them to complete the maze correctly, students must shade in sentences that say something a character with that trait would say, do, or think.

Included: 5 character trait mazes, a student recording sheet to help you understand your students' thinking, and answer keys.

Second Center: Character Traits Spin

Students use a pencil and a paper clip to "spin" a certain character trait. Then, they have to write down a paragraph explaining something that a character with that trait would do, say, or think. 3 different pages with different spinners are included.

Third Center: Character Traits Sort

This can be an independent, partner, or small group activity. Students must match up paragraphs that describe something a character with the correct character trait.

Included: 6 character trait cards, 18 detail cards, student recording sheet, and answer key

The centers are fairly low prep. The Character Trait Mazes and Character Traits Spin just need to be printed and copies. The Character Trait Sort require a little cutting and optional laminating.

Character Traits Word Wall

Use this word wall to help build your students' character trait vocabulary. Instead of using words like "nice" or "smart" to describe different characters, this word wall will encourage them to use words like "compassionate" or "skillful."

Have students help you sort the words into groups based on their synonyms. Or, for a bigger challenge, have students sort the words based on their "shades of meaning."

These character traits lists can be used to help expand your students' character trait vocabulary.

There are 3 lists:

1. Sorted by Synonyms - This list includes common character traits and their synonyms.
