World Kindness Day

Write a letter, send a postcard or just do something nice for someone!

As a teacher, you can inspire kindness by setting up activities like :

• A “Kindness Jar,” where students drop in notes sharing kind deeds they’ve done or witnessed.
• Write kind messages to classmates or staff. These activities help promote social-emotional learning, creating a more supportive and connected school environment where kindness is at the heart of everyday interactions.#
• A compliment chain. Have each student write a compliment or kind message to another classmate. Connect the messages in a paper chain and hang it around the classroom. This creates a visible reminder of kindness.  Keep adding links to the chain as more compliments and kind acts are shared throughout the term!
• Kindness Bingo! Agree a bingo card with random acts of kindness, like “help a friend,” “compliment someone,” or “include someone new at playtime.” Students try to complete a row of kind acts over a week.
• Assign each student a “secret kindness buddy” for a week. They must do small acts of kindness (like writing a kind note or helping with something) for their buddy without revealing who they are. At the end of the week, students can guess who their kindness buddy was.
