From exciting themed activities to simple acts of service, we have ideas to get your entire school community involved in spreading kindness!
Theme Ideas

Building a Kindness Castle
Throughout the week, students contribute acts of kindness, which are “bricks,” to build a giant paper castle on display. By the end of the week, the kind acts of countless students will have culminated in a towering paper castle, a testament to the power of cooperation and a symbol of the school’s commitment to kindness.
Superhero Kindness
Design your kindness-themed superhero costumes and brainstorm ways to be “superheroes” for others. With your creative capes and can-do attitudes, you’ll be ready to spread kindness throughout your community, proving that even the most minor acts of compassion can make a super difference in the world!
Words Matter
- Consider the influence of affirmative language.
- Make a compliment chain in which students write positive remarks about one another and then pass them along.

Activity Ideas

Thank You Note Barrage

Random Acts of Kindness Challenge
Each day has a different random act of kindness for students to complete, like holding the door open or picking up trash. By participating in these small acts of kindness, students can make a big difference in their school community, fostering a more positive and supportive environment for everyone.
“You’ve Been Kind-apped!”

Spark a culture of kindness by recognizing good deeds
Track acts of kindness for each grade level. Every week, shine a spotlight on a heartwarming example from each grade. This will show students that kindness is a valued part of your school community and inspire them to spread positivity.
