This Identifying Strengths lesson plan also includes:
A game of Jeopardy helps participants identify their strengths and those of their classmates. Players use five index cards to identify their strengths in five categories (Sports & Fitness, Arts & Music, Friends & Family, School Subjects, and Just for Fun). Two teams then compete in a Jeopardy game that asks them to identify who has a particular strength in the class. In the after-game interviews and discussions, pupils realize everyone has strengths in different areas.
