Lesson Plan

Kindness Detectives Lesson Plan

Students will become ‘Kindness Detectives’ by identifying feelings in a simple story, discussing ways to show empathy, and creating a personal Kindness Map of actions they can take.

Early empathy practice helps PreK learners recognize others’ feelings, builds social–emotional skills, and fosters a caring classroom community where everyone feels understood and supported.
