Bible values for children
Choose what helps life grow.
Choosing what is good and helpful.
When we make a wrong choice, we can admit it and try again with help.
Put it into practice
What does goodness look like?
Goodness means wanting and doing what is right and helpful. We can learn to care about people even when there is no prize. When we make a wrong choice, we can admit it and try again with help.
If you find someone else's pencil, return it even if nobody saw you pick it up.

Good SamaritanVerses to remember
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
A little context
Galatians 5:22 names goodness as fruit of the Spirit. These qualities describe growing conduct; they should not be used to label children as either good people or bad people.
