Free School
Personal Development Session
A fun, practical classroom session helping children learn how to take control of their choices
Could Some Children in Your Class Benefit From Learning How to Make Better Choices?
At Champions Character, we help children understand that true strength is not about getting angry — it is about learning how to take control of their choices, their emotions, and their behaviour. Our free school session, “Be a Star for a Day”, is designed to bring this message to life in a fun, visual, and memorable way. This session is based around Champions Take Control — our version of Stephen Coveys Habit 1: Be Proactive. Children learn that although they cannot always control what happens to them, they can control how they respond.
Helping Children “Flick the Switch”
During the session, I bring along our Flick the Switch experiment machine, which helps children visually understand how choices lead to different outcomes.
The message is simple:
Something happens.
We pause.
We choose.
We flick the switch.
This gives children a practical phrase they can remember and use in school, at home, and with friends.
What Children Will Learn
By the end of the session, children will be able to:
- Understand what it means to be proactive
- Recognise that they have the freedom to choose their response
- See how different choices create different outcomes
- Use the phrase “Flick the Switch” to help manage emotions and behaviour
- Understand how one positive choice can influence others around them
Session Details
The session is:
- Completely free
- Non-contact
- Inclusive and engaging
- Suitable for whole-class participation

Who Delivers the Session?
The session is personally delivered by me, Stephen Thompson.
I have worked with children and families across Gloucestershire for many years through martial arts, personal development, and character education.
I am also:
- Fully DBS-checked
- Fully insured for school-based delivery
- Experienced in Child Development and Character Education
- A registered trainer of The Leader in Me programme
- Creator of the Champions Character programme
- A former 10x World Karate Champion
Children often respond strongly to my sporting background, but the real message I share with them is this:
I did not become successful just because I could kick and punch. I became successful because I learned how to Flick the Switch, take control, and make better choices.
Cost
There is absolutely no cost for this session.
The only thing I ask is that, if the session is valuable for your pupils, you would kindly provide a short testimonial to help us continue bringing these sessions to other schools and children in the future.
