Giving the gift of virtues to your family, school, place of worship or community brings joy and excitement to everyone involved. We hope that the activities and format provided will inspire and assist you in implementing a program that is fun so that real learning can take place.

It is highly recommended in order for your VOW program to be as successful as possible that you purchase and read The Family Virtues Guide and/or The Virtues Project Educator’s Guide by Linda Kavelin Popov. These books aid in understanding the philosophy for implementing the curriculum.

You will need the following items in order to implement the VOW program in its entirety. Please keep in mind that this overview gives instructions on how to do the full VOW program. However, each teacher can modify their program based on the number of students, amount of time they have, the space available or how extensively they want to use the curriculum.

To get started, you will need:

• VOW Teacher’s Manual: Includes Lesson Plan Grids, activity descriptions, indexes, lists and more (provided) used to implement your VOW program. In order to access the materials, you must first register.  Please click here to create a login
• Gift Box from God: A large colorfully decorated box with a lid that contains examples of the Virtue Booklet for the week and the Giftlet
• Cassette/CD Player: Needed for playing various songs listed in the Music and Movement Activity section on the Lesson Plan Grids in SECTION 2
• Courtesy Bell: A bell used to call students to attention
• Name Tags: Replaceable self-adhesive name tags or permanent name tags picked up each week in class
• T-Shirts with VOW Logo (Optional): T-Shirts with the VOW logo that are the same color for each teacher so they can be distinguished from mentors
