Need a little inspiration for your lesson planning? Don't worry! Our teacher team has got you covered! Random Acts of Kindness Day is a day for promoting kindness and encouraging people to be kind to others. Here are a few ways you can celebrate this day in your classroom. Choose the activities that fit with your students and your social and emotional learning planning:

Encourage students to perform random acts of kindness throughout the day. This could include things like holding the door open for a classmate, helping someone carry their books, or simply saying something nice to someone.
Create a kindness bulletin board where students can post notes or pictures of acts of kindness that they witness or perform.
Have students work together to plan and execute a school-wide kindness campaign, such as a food drive, a charity walk, or a fundraiser for a local charity.
Encourage students to write letters of gratitude or appreciation to people in their lives who have been kind to them.
Take some time during class to discuss the importance of kindness and how it can make a positive impact on both the giver and the receiver.
Have a class discussion about the different ways that people can be kind, and brainstorm ideas on how your class can incorporate more kindness into their daily lives.
Organize a game or competition on kindness, such as who can do the most kindness in the class, school, or even the community.
Lead a kindness-themed art class where students can create a kindness-themed artwork to share with the class or the school.

Ultimately, the way that you choose to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day will depend on the age and interests of your students, but incorporating acts of kindness and discussions about kindness into your classroom can help to create a more positive and supportive environment for everyone.
