Why Teach Kindness?

Teaching kindness in the classroom is important for fostering a positive culture and greater sense of community within your class and school. And connection has been proven to be a strong factor in improving an individual’s feelings of happiness.

Even small acts of kindness between students can improve positivity, and feelings of hope, belonging and self worth, with the well being of both the giver and the receiver being positively impacted.

Teaching Kindness in the Classroom

In classrooms, talking about kindness as something that can (and should) be practised every day is important.

Talk with students about;

what kindness looks like in others,
how it feels to be kind,
how it feels to receive kindness.

Encourage children to step into the shoes of someone else by regularly asking, “What would that feel like?”

Brainstorm specific acts of kindness that students might try at school and at home – the Kids Kindness Pack includes a Kindness Bingo Game board to help you get started, and you can find even more ideas in our list of 24 Random Acts of Kindness for Kids.

Making a list of micro acts of kindness provides explicit examples of kindness in action for children, helping them to further understand what is essentially an abstract concept.

Harness the power of literature by reading books exploring kindness and other social emotional learning themes. Start off with the suggestions in these related book lists;

And be sure to notice when your students are doing the right thing, reinforcing positive, kind behavior as it is observed.

Making kindness a specific, explicit goal for your classroom, a place where children see and hear that kindness is valued on a daily basis, will have a positive impact on you as their teacher, the students, their families and the wider school community.
