Answer 2

I know this isn't what you are looking for, but I think the best way to teach children about loyalty and unity is to talk to them, and point out when it is appropriate to be loyal and when too much loyalty can be a bad thing. Talk about how nice it is to work together as a team, and talk about how sometimes its also nice for a person to stand up against the crowd.

If you talk about what makes a good friend or a good person and talk about why good character is a nice thing to have children understand what you're saying.

Also, by being an example of a person of good character children will emulate.

So my answer is that you don't need games and stories. You just need talk and talk some more. You can incorporate discussions about good character and loyalty in the day-to-day time you spend together.

Games and activities are good for learning letters, numbers, reading, and the like. Talk and example are, I think, best for teaching good character.

Answer 3

PBS Sprout is the best channel on cable today. My daughter and I love love Sagwa...which I think teaches a lot about helping others, keeping commitments, and family loyalty. The shows are all appropriate and engaging for 2-6 year olds and are not interrupted by commercials, but instead have craft activities, games and yoga poses between shows! There are also activites on their website, which is listed below.

From everything I read, children have an inborn sense of loyalty (which is why so many commercials are aimed at them) and it usually causes problems (ie not tattling on friends when they should or not accepting a step-parent because it would hurt the biological parent).

Answer 4

In the realm of unavoidable TV, steer them to Caillou on PBS, and the Backyardigans on Nick/Noggin. 2-6 year old range.

Answer 5

Children learn by example. They will test the behavior to see if it really works but they go with what they know. Good luck.
