http://www.education-world.com/a_curr/curr008.shtml

This is a curriculum for kids, and is great for Family Literacy. It covers: Teaching Citizenship’s Five Themes Activities from the editors of Weekly Reader can help develop K-6 students' understanding of the five citizenship themes and has a solid curriculum with some discussion points that can be used for parents and children to explore the main themes.
Advocating the five themes of citizenship -- honesty, compassion, respect, responsibility, and courage -- is not enough. Exploring those themes, talking about them, and making connections between those themes and your students’ lives are the keys to developing a true understanding of the concepts. The activities below, which will help develop those themes, are divided by grade levels:
Activities for Students in Kindergarten and Grade 1
Activities for Students in Grades 2 and 3
Activities for Students in Grades 4, 5, and 6
