Play a Fair Game

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the emotional weight of competition, whether they are being a sore loser or a boastful winner. It is an essential tool for navigating those first experiences with organized sports where the desire to win can sometimes overshadow the importance of integrity and kindness. The story follows the Bear scouts as they navigate a baseball game where the temptation to cheat or play dirty arises. It explores themes of honesty, self-control, and the golden rule within a team setting. Ideally suited for children aged 4 to 8, this book provides a gentle, faith-based framework for discussing why how we play the game matters just as much as the final score. Parents will appreciate the clear moral compass and the relatable sibling dynamics that make the lesson feel practical rather than preachy.
