Kindness activities your elementary students will love! Five ideas to engage your K-5 students during Kindness Week or Valentine's Day.
M I S S I O N P O S S I B L E What better time to post about spreading kindness and love than Valentines! This random acts of kindness activity is a HUGE hit in my room every year. It transforms students into secret agents (of kindness)! Students watch this phenomenal video about spreading kindness and then are challenged to become secret agents. As an agent, their job is to perform random acts of kindness in our classroom without getting caught. They love sneaking around doing kind activities, and having others do nice things for them! Here are some pictures of our MISSION POSSIBLE envelopes, the students opening them, finding their special pens, and reading their secret missions...messages will not self destruct. ;) The first time I introduce this activity I have it last 1 week. After that our class will do it once a quarter :) I've had other teachers use the activity and have it last the entire month. It's easily adaptable and works wonders on building my classroom community each time. Seeing the students engaged and BEGGING to help each other brightens my day like few things do! New friendships are made and students see each other in a different light. Here the students have found their own cozy space to read their debriefings! Click here to give it a try in your own room! :) Grab invisible ink secret agent pens here to add a little fun! This is the video I introduce the activity with - it sends such a strong message! (Teacher Suggestion: I always embed videos onto our classroom website so there's no chance of inappropriate advertisements!)

Monthly Kindness Activities - This resource is a great way to promote a positive and kind classroom throughout the entire school year. It was designed for encouraging random acts of kindness in the school classroom, but it could also be used for children in church group settings or in family settings as well. I have included ten different posters and activities to encourage the children to be kind to one another. I like to designate a “kindness bulletin board” in my room where I hang the monthly poster along with the corresponding completed kindness activity. It is fun and motivational for the children to see all the acts of kindness on display each month! This kindness resource includes the following pages along with detailed instructions: • September poster and activity: Helping Hands • October poster and activity: Pay It Forward • November poster and activity: Say It Forward • December poster and activity: Caught Being Kind • January poster and activity: Kindness Links Us Together • February poster and activity: Have a Heart • March poster and activity: We are Lucky • April poster and activity: Let Kindness Bloom • May poster and activity: Brighten Someone’s Day • Extra poster and activity: Sprinkle Kindness • End of the year reflection writing page • End of the year kindness certificates • Two kindness banners to hang in your room: BE KIND and CHOOSE KINDNESS Kindness activities, posters, and banners come in both a colored version as well as a black and white version. ★ Please check out the preview to see page samples of these kindness activities and to ensure they match the ability level of your class.

Happy Random Acts of Kindness Week! I absolutely LOVE spreading kindness in (and out) of my classroom! So, I wanted to share some of my favorite activities that you could easily implement in your own classroom to spread some happy! There are SO many ways to spread kindness! So, let's get this KINDNESS PARTY STARTED!!! My students this year are very competitive and are always up for a challenge! So implementing Kindness Challenges are a FUN way to spread some kindness in and out of the classroom! I wrote all about how I use them in my classroom over at The Primary Peach! Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti is one of my favorite quotes, and I LOVE this kindness challenge because students write about their kind acts on confetti pieces to create the board! You can grab this Confetti Kindness Challenge here! Kindness Counts, always! This Kindness Challenge is SUPER easy to implement and it's FREE! Students are given hearts to record their acts of kindness on and then return them to school! You can read more about how I use Kindness Challenges in my classroom over at The Primary Peach! I LOVE using quotes in my classroom as a way to motivate students and spread kindness! These Motivational Quotes by Blair Turner are one of my MOST favorite purchases, EVER! This quote is in the very center of our classroom, and serves as our classroom motto! My co-teacher and I point to this quote many times and ask our students if they are being the reason someone smiles today!? Such a great reminder to spread smiles and not frowns! Interested in making your own {Be the Reason} board!? You can grab the letter template here! What better way to spread kindness than by giving compliments to each other! This was a SUPER SIMPLE and completely random activity that I did with my class one afternoon when I really noticed that we needed to spread some happy! I printed out a class list, cut out all the names, and put them in a bucket. I went around the classroom and had students pull names out of the bucket. They had a minute or two to think of a compliment to share with the student that they drew out of the bucket. Then, we sat in a circle and went around the circle sharing compliments with each other. I absoutely LOVED the randomness of this, because students were sharing compliments with kids that were not their best friends or kids that they don't play with on a regular basis. And, every single time a compliment was shared BOTH kids smiled! Seriously one of the sweetest activities to end the day in a happy way! Sometimes you just need something small to spread smiles! Like a post-it! I LOVE using these {Positive Sticky Notes} to spread some happy to my students and co-workers! They are super easy to print and leave anywhere where you want to spread kindness! You can grab the {Positive Sticky Notes} here! I think it's also very important to let my students be in charge of spreading smiles and kindness to others! In our classroom, students can fill out these simple slips of paper and deliver them to people that have made them smile! Something SO easy and let's them work on writing while being kind!
