Character Trait Cards

Read the story, then use the trait cards to describe the characters. A character trait is a quality shown by what a character says, thinks or does.

The Missing Lunchbox

At lunchtime, Lachlan noticed a small lunchbox under the gum tree. It had a name tag, but the rain had blurred the letters. Lachlan wanted to get to the oval before the bell, but she carried the lunchbox to the office first. On the way, she saw Sienna searching near the benches. “I can’t find my lunch,” he said. Lachlan showed him the lunchbox. Sienna smiled with relief, then noticed that the lid was stuck. Lachlan held the box steady while Sienna worked the latch. Inside was a note from his little sister, wishing him luck for his football game. Just then, the bell rang. Lachlan hurried to the oval. Sienna called, “Thanks for helping me!” Lachlan waved and ran off, pleased that she had helped someone.
