Lesson Plan

Kindness Kickoff Plan

Students will explore the meaning of kindness and practice simple, daily acts of empathy through a brief presentation, a hands-on compliment chain activity, and personal reflection.

Fostering kindness builds students’ empathy and sense of belonging, creating a more supportive classroom climate where everyone feels valued.
