It costs nothing to be kind - but the return on investment is huge!
Fostering kindness among students is essential for building a positive learning environment where everyone feels valued and supported. When students practice kindness—whether through small gestures like sharing supplies or larger acts such as including a classmate in group work—they contribute to a culture of respect and empathy. Encouraging these behaviors not only improves classroom dynamics but also equips students with critical social-emotional skills. By modeling and recognizing acts of kindness, educators can inspire students to become compassionate leaders, driving meaningful connections and lasting impact both inside and outside the classroom.In this free set of activities, students will create a collection of kindness-centered acts for the month. You'll lead group discussions on what kindness means, and how acts of kindness can improve your own life and lives around you. This lesson also contains 20+ printables and templates, including both English and Spanish.
Combining reading, writing, and social-emotional development, these interactive activities include simple instructions, tips, prompts, and resources (in both English and Spanish!) to guide your students in developing a culture of kindness.
Fully customizable for the needs of your classroom, students will work through hands-on activities and exercises for discussions in exploring what it means to be kind, setting an example for others, reflecting on your own actions, and more. Created in partnership with Cathy Henry, educator and founder of The Curriculum Corner and Free Word Work, students will explore discussion questions, vocabulary words, and more to create a supportive and welcoming culture in their school and home environment.
