Kindness is not just how you treat other people — it is how you extend those same behaviours to yourself! Small acts of kindness can have enormous benefits especially when you direct self-love to yourself! This activity investigates ways that people can be kind to themselves and acknowledge their value. Students will be encouraged to conduct a kindness to themselves and log their act on the Kindness Log at the Kindness Factory: https://kindnessfactory.com/kindness-log/

Social media use has become so pervasive in the lives of people but not necessarily a positive experience for all. Various platforms have typically been sites for bullying, mean and negative comments. Let’s counteract this trend with kindness. This activity asks you to create some kind and positive memes to share on social media. You can share your creations on the Kindness Log at the Kindness Factory: https://kindnessfactory.com/kindness-log/

Simple acts of kindness can lift someone else’s spirits, make them feel acknowledged and connected. We have the power to choose how we act and whether to be kind. This activity explores how choosing to be kind can be a powerful act. Students can choose a kind act, do it and log it on the Kindness Factory: https://kindnessfactory.com/kindness-log/
Even very young children can spread kindness and make others feel good with small actions. Using the storybook Kindness is my Superpower by Alicia Ortego this activity explores acts of kindness and we have the power to choose how we act and whether to be kind.
It may have been a thoughtful word, a smile, or someone holding the door open for you but these simple acts of kindness influence how you feel!
