Color Your World with Kindness
A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. -Amelia Earhart.
Have you shown kindness to someone today? Let’s start a simple act to Color Your World with Kindness.
This content activity engages students to experience the many ways that kindness shows up and the impact it has when it does.
It is appropriate for character education and #SEL social-emotional learning during kindness week and/or World Kindness Day.
ACTIVITIES:
- Begin with watching a short video Color Your World with Kindness and then discuss it as a class:
- Why do the characters change from grayscale to color?
- What message does the video want to share with the viewers?
- What can you do to make them from grayscale to color? Let students click-through "grayscale students" to reveal the content for group discussion. (📝Tips: Teachers can use Whiteboard for Windows Participate mode or Classroom Huddle mode for group live collaboration.)
- Explore Social Interactions: Watch the video Kindness Boomerang - "One Day" to guide students to raise positive awareness of social interactions and allows students to share the acts of kindness with their peer to increase their awareness of others' emotions and experiences. (📝Tips: Teachers/ Students can use Sticky Note to interact in the class.)
- Monopoly Game: Practice, practice, practice to show kindness.
- Roll the dice and walk to the corresponding squares of the track and follow the instructions to gain the star or draw the card. (📝Tips: students can use the feature ”screenshot of a selected video/gif” to draw the card).
- Players have to gain three stars of kindness to Win.
