Helping others and being gentle.

Kindness stories for kids

Clouds, trees and animals that notice when someone needs a hand. Afterwards, try asking "Who could we help today?"

Talking about kindness at home

  • Ask: "Who was kind in the story? How did it make the others feel?"
  • Spot kind acts together during the day and name them out loud.
  • Plan one small kind thing to do for someone tomorrow.

A family activity

Make a 'Kindness Jar': add a paper heart every time someone in the family does something kind.
