DescriptionLooking for an exciting Kindness Day challenge to teach about friendship and respect? These editable kindness checklists help students to make good choices and self-monitor their behavior. This activity helps them feel in control of their personal development by giving them a say in what they do.Challenge students to use these kindness worksheets to select three or more good deeds from four categories (school, home, community, with an adult) OR five or more from two categories if they're working together. As students check off the acts of kindness they complete, they build character by being thoughtful and considerate of others. Kind, caring kids cooperate and support their peers for a calm, peaceful classroom.Checklists can be used with grade one, grade two, grade three and even older kids who will be engaged for hours or days during Random Acts of Kindness Day, Pay It Forward Day, or World Kindness Week in February, April, and November.❤️ NO PREP If you want a quick print-and-use option, you'll love the ready-made checklists. ❤️ TEACHER can CUSTOMIZE Use Google Slides™ to adjust one or two acts of kindness or change the categories and add new good deeds to suit your grade.❤️ STUDENTS can PERSONALIZE Students can practice digital skills while typing in their own acts of kindness using the Google Slides™ file or print the paper templates if you'd like them to write.❤️ INDEPENDENT or as a GROUP Students can work independently or learn skills to co-operate, consider, and include by working together on the group challenge. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Teacher Love"Super helpful resource to use when encouraging acts of kindness!
