Gravity Test | Truthfulness Character Time Activity

Gravity Test | Truthfulness Activity

Truthfulness is: “Earning future trust by accurately reporting past facts.” This means that when you are honest and tell the truth about things that have happened, people will know they can trust you now and in the future.

Supplies Needed:
8-10 toys or other items that can get dropped without getting broken

Give your child the items and have them drop the items to see if they fall to the ground every time. Have them drop each thing at least once. You can ask them before they drop each item whether or not they think it will fall.

Talk About It: Each object you dropped fell to the ground. This is because of gravity. It pulls things on earth to the ground, including you! You don’t have to worry that it might stop working or that you will float off the ground. You can trust that gravity will pull you back to the ground because it’s reliable and never stops working. When we tell the truth consistently, it makes us reliable too. People know they can trust us to tell the truth because we always do. On the other hand, if we only tell the truth some of the time or when we feel like it, people can’t trust us because they don’t know when we’re being truthful and when we’re not. We need to make sure that we are reliable and truthful all the time. Show truthfulness by telling the truth in every situation, even if it’s hard or you don’t feel like it.
