Lesson Plan

Kindness Action Plan

Students will learn that small acts of kindness—like sharing a smile—can brighten others’ days and strengthen classroom connections. They will practice using smile prompts to greet peers and record their own kind gestures.

Building empathy and social awareness helps create a supportive classroom where every student feels valued. Small kindness acts boost mood and foster positive relationships.
