Many teachers—in every grade from preschool to 12—are on the lookout for simple ways to promote social and emotional learning in school. Random Acts of Kindness Day, which is designated to encourage acts of generosity big and small, is an opportunity to do just that, and teachers may get a boost by letting students know that their peers in other countries have the same goal.
Here are five simple ways to bring both planned and totally random gestures of decency to your classroom on the day itself and well beyond.
1. Spread the Joy
Remind students that being kind doesn’t require grand gestures. This free printable bookmark encourages students to make kindness a priority, and it works for all ages. Younger students can color it in while older students can mark their place in their reading.
A kindness flyer is another simple way to engage students in middle school in compassionate acts. Elementary students can use this free template to design a tear-off poster that can be displayed in classrooms or hallways. Older students can make a similar flyer by brainstorming a list of kind actions and placing each on a tear-off portion of a flyer. Encourage students to take—and then actually do—the actions suggested by their classmates.
