We Choose Virtues Review and Giveaway

The older my children get the more I realize that character training is vitally important to ensure a successful homeschool time. We needed to work on some issues of diligence, cheerfulness, and persevering recently, so I looked around to see if  there were some new resources out there that would help. I’m not the crafty type of mom who can create my own adorable charts!

We Choose Virtues was created by a teacher and a pastor’s wife who saw a lack of virtues in her classrooms. She looked around and realized that there was a great need for products to help teach good character to children and set about to create a product to help! I was sent the Home-School Kit (Faith Based) to use in our home. My favorite item and most useful item from the kit so far has been the We Choose Virtues Poster!

 

 

I have this poster up on our refrigerator and we refer to it throughout the day. Whenever a child is having a hard time showing a good virtue, I bring them to the chart and we read through the virtue they need to work on. My  smaller children normally bashfully giggle and point out the virtue child on the poster – they just love them! I am impressed with the artwork on the whole set. It is child friendly, but not so cartoonish that it looks overly silly. My daughter loves the little girls on the posters that have dresses and long hair 🙂 I’m always sure to hear her talk about them when we look at the posters.

Included in the kit are 12 large flashcard style cards to teach your children the virtues. These cards are printed on very high quality card stock paper.

 

It shows the child what being content does NOT look like, and then gives a scripture verse to enforce the virtue. I wish they had different versions of scripture available as the Bible they use is NIrV. You could always look up the verse in the Bible you use though and try to memorize that one. This is the back of the parenting card, it gives a challenge to the child, teachable moments and a short story to go along with the character.

 

My children enjoyed getting the Virtue User Reviewat the end of the day. They were excited about what they got right, and you could tell they wanted to work harder on what they did wrong so they could get it checked right the next day!

 

Here is what is included in the homeschool kit,which is $98.99.

    •  The Kids Virtue Poster
    • The Three Rules Poster
    •  13 Parenting Cards
    •  3 Kids of Virtueville Mini Posters
    •  12 Flash Cards
    •  1 pad/25ct Virtue User Review
    • 100 Days of Virtue Chart and stickers

Two slight criticisms – I do think the price is high for what you get, and I wish the teacher’s manual that comes along with the kit had more in it for homeschool families and not just a classroom teacher. That being said, it is hard to find good character training materials that are helpful and are as well designed as the We Choose Virtues kit is.

  1. I’m in a hurry today, but when I saw this I wanted to enter–but I can’t find rafflecopter. I won’t be home all day… how long will this be open?

  2. I am not able to find the form to fill out either. I click on “a Rafflecopter giveaway” link, but not sure what part to fill out. It appears to be more for signing up to start my own raffle. Thank you, have a blessed day.

  3. Hi! What is the youngest age you feel this product is appropriate for? My oldest is almost three!

    1. I think three would be the youngest I would start using these products with, our four year old loves them!

  4. An organized program would be so great for our family, & we have an age gap that this seems like it could help the oldest & the youngers could.easily grow into it!

  5. I am always looking for ways to encourage my children and teach them! Thank you for posting this!Looks very helpful!

  6. This would be a great set to have. We are really starting our homeschooling this coming fall. We are learning character traits right now, and I know this would help. 🙂

  7. I love the homeschool kit and everything you have written about these cards sounds like a great thing!!

  8. Boy, this is timely. My 7 year old is working through some character issues and this would be so helpful!

  9. I would probably get the parenting cards – my 5 year old needs lots of work on the 3 rules, too – so that’s a must. Thanks!

  10. Thanks to the Lord’s kindness and blessings, my family and I just converted over to Christianity. I feel so very blessed. We need A LOT of help in every area but especially with my children’s virtues (obedience!) and with homeschoooling. I will be starting our first year of homeschooling this fall and I am excited yet scared to death!

  11. I love this! I was wondering just the other day what is available for teaching good character traits. My daughter is 2 and needs help with obedience and patience the most. I really liked the Three Rules poster, too.

  12. WOW THIS KIT IS A BLESSING:)
    I would love to have this for my children. Right now we are trying to instill obedience and following directions and kit would be a blessing.

  13. We could really use the visual aids for our 3 yr o
    ld daughter. We are in the process of trying to instill obedience and contentment. She can quote a couple verses on these issues, and that seems to help in the moment, but the extra visual would be really beneficial. I agree though that the price is a little steep, so I really hope I win this! 🙂 Thanks for the review and the chance to win! Thanks for the review and the chance to win!

  14. I think the family kit is what we could benefit from. Really any of the virtue cards/ posters. We are constantly trying to work on character that reflects Jesus in our home and with 6 kiddos, it is a day by day process! 🙂

  15. Our family needs help with being content with what we have already been blessed with. I have had to incorporate a “Turn complaints into Thanks” policy. Then I forget for a while and then have to start over. I was checking this one out not too long ago but the prices stopped me.

  16. The homeschool kit and the family kit look great, but I think the most important item that we would use is the Parenting Cards and the end of the day reports for the kids. That seems like a really good idea to make sure they are being encouraged, and to help them want to aim to do better!

  17. Hi Caroline, I have really been enjoying your blog since someone posted a link on FB a week or so ago. I appreciate your site and the time it takes to make it all happen, so thank you! I could really use that poster as a visual aid in our home. Thank you for the giveaway!

  18. We have just the cards and they have been great to use each week. I put the one we are working on up on the fridge, that way I can remember the saying! During the day when I see my children need some help, I can remind them of the saying on the card!

  19. This would be a real blessing to us as one of our children, our 6 year old is a very strong willed child but, wow, does she love the Lord….and scripture! (at only 6 years old!)

  20. I LOVE the virtues poster!! We have a copy of character qualities from the Duggar’s on our fridge, but it is more for adults the way it’s laid out. The virtues poster is so colorful (our other is black & white with no pictures). I think this would get my children’s attention more. Thanks for sharing!!

  21. Was just looking at this!! Always looking for a way to integrate important virtues into my kiddos lives! Thanks for a great giveaway!

  22. This would be great for us, I think they need help with obedience and kindness toward each other the most.

  23. We really need help in the area of self control for our children. I’m always looking for other ways of helping my children to understand self-control.

  24. I would love to have the poster up on my refrigerator as you suggested as a visual reminder and a quick place to go for reference when we need to address a specific area of weakness.

  25. I’ve looked at these before b/c a friend recommended them but I thought the price was too high to purchase. I’d love the cards and poster.

  26. My kids are little (my oldest will be starting pre-K), but it is never too early to start learning virtues! They (and I!) could all use some help with self-control!:)

  27. I am interested in the virtue chart and poster- totally need some positive virtues to be striving for, so it’s not always me being negative 🙂

    Thanks!
    Nancy

  28. We could deffinitely use the “We Choose Virtues” poster on our fridge! The homeschool curric. would be so awesome, we are on such a tight budget for the upcoming yr. so winning would be great! Thanks 🙂

  29. We could definitely use the poster on our fridge! What a great tool that would be.. Thanks for the opportunity to win this kit!

  30. I think my family needs to be trained and mom needs training too, I can see the various areas my children need training in are my weaknesses too. I think contentment would be a big one for the whole family.

  31. We’ve used a couple character curriculums but haven’t found something that fits yet. I really like the virtue poster and think that would be helpful!

  32. I’m really concerned about these issues too. I’ve been wanting to teach my children character and good virtue. This would help a lot!

  33. We could definitely use this in our family! Neither my husband nor I were brought up in good Christian families, and unfortunately what we were taught about character and virtues was sorely lacking as well. We’re trying to change the future of our little family, and we would LOVE the homeschool kit! 🙂 Blessings!

  34. Oh, these are so great! I would love this as we are constantly in battle over these…in all of us! And rightly so for the enemy of our soul would have us not be in victory in these areas…but we can be victorious if we are walking in the Spirit of the Lord…

    These will be good “heart” checkers!

  35. I would really love to use these with my three small people! What a cool idea! Thanks for the opportunity!

  36. I am just beginning to homeschool my children. I would love to incorporate We Choose Virtues into our daily routine.

  37. All the products look like something practical I could use in our home for character training. I think the virtues poster is something I would use on a daily basis especially with my 3 year old who is learning everyday every minute in
    these areas!

  38. This looks like a well laid out program. With 8 kids 17-3 months, the charts, cards, stickers… something that will help for everyone. Thanks for finding this.

  39. The faith based homeschool kit would be what I would pick if i were buying, as it all looks really useful, if I was just grabbing individual things I’d like get the poster chart and stickers.

  40. I’d love to see this! I think it would be a great benefit to my 3 boys! Particularly interested in the poster.

  41. I would love to have this for my homeschool and for my four children. A character trait I would love to work more on is contentment, self control, and being helpful. All of something the world needs more of I think 😉
