'World Kindness Day' is coming up on 13th November and is a great time to take a breather from the standard curriculum and teach our students some real values that will help shape them into being kind, caring and thoughtful young people.

You can end the video asking the students to look for opportunities to do something kind for someone else today. You could even spend time at the end of the day sharing what acts of kindness they demonstrated or what acts of kindness were shown to them, and reflect on how it made them feel.

Simply save this as an image and print directly to give to your students. I hope you enjoy and that this sets off a boomerang of kindness too!
