I also want to deliver my curriculum in an interesting way, and usually the videos do a great job with their graphics and explanations.
Character Education
During the month of December my students and I talked about caring for and giving to others. I presented a video about a student who does just this. He is ALSO a student that goes to the same school as my students, K12.
During the month of January we talked about the process of recycling and upcycling. I found several videos on the topic:
During the month of February we talked about getting along with your siblings and sibling rivalry. I found a great list of kid friendly videos on PBS that was very helpful:
Sibling Rivalry
During the Month of March, we talked about how to create good luck for your self and how to perceive yourself as lucky. I presented the students with a music video for kids from YouTube about a guy who is having a "lucky day."
Most recently, during the month of April, we talked about how kids can get along with their parents better. I used the video that I found as a spring-board, since it used humor and the narration of other kids to talk about issues kids have with their parents.
