Holding a, "Kindness Parade," For the Classroom!
2020 has been a year full of anger and arguments between people, but it is always a year that as a response to all of that has inspired kindness parades!
Kindness parades are dedicated to expressing joy, caring for others, and spreading happiness! At Little Lambs Learning Center they had a kindness parade and discussed how they could be kind to others!
Ways to be kind
Your own class can hold a kindness parade where the students hold up affirming messages and discuss various ways to be kind as well. Some examples of kindness include but are not limited to:
*Telling someone a compliment
*Planting a tree
*Letting someone stand ahead of you in a line
*Smiling at someone
*Holding the door open for a person
*Being a good listener and offering advice if it is wanted
*Buy someone a snack/meal
*Give someone a present, "Just because," you wanted to
*Ask a person how their day is going/what's on their mind
*Picking-up litter (safely)
*Donate clothes/toys/etc. to a charity
*Volunteer for an organization that needs help
*Anything else you can think of
