Win a prize

A New Year has dawned and we would all like to make some positive changes in our lives. In order to do so, we have to overcome some of the negative qualities that are drawbacks in making us better people and also the world a nicer and safer place to live in.

Hidden inside the keys and padlocks shown here are some of the negative qualities we need to get rid of or overcome.

Find out what they are by matching the letters on each key with those on the padlocks correctly. Then, write them down in the blank spaces next to it and lock them out of your life. Good Luck!
