World Kindness Day activities are the perfect day to promote kindness in your classroom. Teach your students the joys of giving and receiving kindness. World Kindness Day is a great day to incorporate kindness activities into your day. Give these a try:
Thank You Card
Write a thank you note to a local community helper. This could be a nurse or doctor or postman in your local community. Write them a letter and deliver it and see the joy the letter gives them.
Compliments
Give 3 compliments to classmates during the day today. Take a note of how you feel and how the other person reacts to your compliment.
Kindness Box
Give each student a page with paper hearts. Students cut out each heart and write something special about people in your class. Teachers can put the students names on the hearts before handing them out to make sure no one is left out. Cut out the hearts and them in the kindness box in the classroom. Teacher hands out the hearts at the end of the day or throughout the week. Leave the box in the classroom and make a routine of students putting compliments into the kindness box.
