The third week in October is Character Counts! Week. In honor of Character Counts! Week October 20-26, I’m sharing 20+ free character education printables. These are great for Character Counts! Week but can be used throughout the year to encourage good character in your children and/or students.
I’m especially focusing here on character education activities, posters, and bookmarks.
