A List of Character Traits
This is a list of 174 different Character Traits. So often when I was teaching I wanted a list of traits so that my students could look at the list while describing characters. This also helps students get to know and understand different character traits.

Following Directions Activities {Sneaky FREEBIE}
I don't know what it is, but my kiddos have the hardest time reading directions and following them. Most of the time, they don't read the directions and end up doing the activity wrong. Tell me I'm not the only one?!?!

Test Taking Strategies / Follow Directions Prank/Fake Quiz
This quiz is a fun and funny way to get students to realize they need to pay attention to directions.
There is a list of numerous steps to complete, which can actually be fun for students. HOWEVER, the first step says to "read all directions before continuing" and the last step says "only do..." so most students mess this up and do all the steps as they go along. Then you can give them the lesson at the end :)
