Grab this low-prep SEL kindness challengewhere students color bookmarks with positive phrases and sneak off to the library on a fun kindness mission to hide their gifts. The more bookmarks they color and hide, the greater impact their kindness will have!

As they color the kindness quotes, they are repeating a mantra to encourage positive thinking and kind behavior that leads to a happy, supportive, and inclusive classroom.

These kindness coloring pages are a color by number activity where students practice addition and subtraction. The count and color worksheets are more than a fun, no-prep mindfulness activity as students need to use math skills to determine the number associated with each color. 

Use as a distance learning resource or during a math session.

This friendship board game with getting to know you icebreaker question cards and team-building challenges is a great way to build relationships. It’s also a fabulous classroom management resource if you have friendship problems in your classroom.

This friendship activity is unlike other board games where students work against one another because the aim of this game is to work together in teams to “win” a friendship.

Teachers asked for a kindness checklist they could customize to suit their grade. This resource provides the convenience of print-and-use worksheets and a Google Slides™ version where students or teachers can add their own acts of kindness. 

There is also a print and digital option for a collaborative activity where students work in groups to complete a kindness challenge. 

These bookmarks, posters, and coloring pages have positive suggestions for coping with challenging emotions. Students learn self-regulation skills to deal with feeling sad, frustrated, lonely, anxious, angry, and scared.

A mindfulness activity for your calm down corner, they color 8 coping skills for each emotion. Reading strategies over and over as they color helps them embed strategies to self-soothe when they need to calm down.

Our wildly popular kindness coloring pages are a fun, no-prep mindfulness activity that are perfect for students who need a brain break so they can focus on their school work.

Apart from being a great way to bust boredom at home, coloring helps children develop fine motor skills and hand eye co-ordination. With messages of kindness, they also nurture positive character traits. They're also perfect as kindness week coloring pages.

This fun back to school craft activity results in a beautiful kindness quilt or collaboration poster for your classroom bulletin board.

Each of the 30 quilt squares are coloring pages that can be used as a mindfulness activity to calm your grade. You can also use the printed and blank google slides templates as writing prompts for students to add their own positive message.

The lessons in this unit are used with the picture book Enemy Pie by Derek Munson. It's a fantastic story to help teach about kindness and respect and perfect for back to school.

The reading comprehension worksheets help build positive character traits and social skills and kids LOVE the craft activity. They learn to cooperate, include others, and be considerate towards their peers while collaborating to make a ‘friends forever pie’.

Based on our best-selling kindness coloring pages, these kindness worksheets also include letter tracing to enhance reading, writing, spelling, and fine motor skills for younger students. 

The worksheets feel like fun, but students are actually learning and building positive character traits as they take a brain break to calm themselves or refocus for the next task.

This Getting to Know Me book is a friendship and ice breaker activity for students to connect and interact with their classmates.

Students assemble their booklet, share about family, pets, favorites, and goals but also highlight friendship and positive character traits they appreciate.

Books can be shared at the start of the year for students to get to know one another.

This is a great resource for your SEL toolbox and a must to get students back to school in a kind and caring way!

Use Kindness Cash as an incentive or classroom management system while teaching students essential life skills such as earning, saving, spending, and giving.
