Integrity in Action

Welcome students! Explain that today we’re exploring integrity—what it means and how it shows up in our lives. Prompt them to listen for key words.

What Is Integrity?

Read the definition aloud. Highlight “doing the right thing” and “even when no one is watching.” Ask: Why do you think those phrases matter?

Real-Life Scenarios

Display each scenario. Students give thumbs up/down to show if they think it demonstrates integrity. Facilitate brief discussion: Why or why not?
