Help Children Practice the Virtue of Temperance.

Use this sheet of trading cards to help introduce or review the virtue of temperance, our guide to self-control, in your Religious Ed. or CCD class. The card has an image to help open a discussion and practical ways for children to practice the virtue of temperance.

Create cards by printing out the sheet, cutting cards apart on the white segments, and folding on the dotted lines. Glue together to complete. Teachers may laminate finished cards for longevity and a polished appearance.

The text of the card is as follows.

-Remember that everything I have is a gift from God.

-Do my studies and duties before playing or resting.
