Kody the Koala

Worksheet Description

The Honesty worksheet is an educational resource designed to engage students with a narrative that illustrates the value of honesty through a heartwarming story about two koalas. The story takes place in a eucalyptus forest in Australia, where the koalas, Kody and Katie, spend their days relishing the lush treetops and sharing adventures. One day, an incident involving a shiny pebble tests their friendship and Kody’s integrity. Katie is mesmerized by the pebble and considers it the most beautiful thing ever, but Kody knows there’s something more significant than the pebble’s allure.

As the story unfolds, Kody faces a moral dilemma when he discovers a hidden grove of flowers, which he recognizes as a truly remarkable find, far exceeding the worth of the pebble. Torn between keeping the secret or sharing his discovery, Kody chooses honesty and reveals the flowers to Katie, thereby teaching a valuable lesson. The worksheet uses this narrative to prompt discussion and reflection among students about honesty’s importance and the profound impact it can have on relationships and personal character. It’s a tool not just for reading comprehension, but also for building character and ethical reasoning in young learners.
