KINDNESS CHALLENGE FOR KIDS: 12 Days of Kindness Activities

This 12 Days of Kindness Challenge activity is perfect for any time of year but is particularly timely for Thanksgiving in November, any December holiday, or in February for Valentine’s Day. It can be used for any grade level.

Tips and Ideas for Use:

  • Use these posters on a bulletin board, classroom display, counseling office, or common area in your school.
  • Each student should complete four acts of kindness in each of the three categories during 12 days, OR you can use the letters that say “KINDNESS CHALLENGE” and ask students to complete as many acts of kindness as they possibly can.
  • There is a page that students can use to track their progress toward 12 acts of kindness. Each column should have four ripped-off papers from the kindness posters when the student has completed their 12 acts of kindness challenge. You may choose NOT to use this tracker if you want students to achieve more than 12 acts of kindness.
  • Many of these kindness challenge activities must be completed outside of school. This is PERFECT for homework in December for the holidays or in February around Valentine’s Day. Class time can be used for discussing the acts of kindness and processing their feelings and experiences as they complete each act of kindness.
  • Offer additional copies of the 12 Days of Kindness if students exceed the 12 days.
  • Students should rip ONE ACT OF KINDNESS AT A TIME (one for each 12 days). There are TEN acts of kindness per category (kindness to self, kindness to others, and kindness to earth) for 30 acts of kindness.
  • If students ALREADY engage in an activity or suggestion, encourage them to find something different. For example, you may have students who already use reusable water bottles every single day. They would naturally need to choose a different act of kindness in that category. The idea is to challenge themselves to do something new.
  • Please note that you can CHOOSE THE TITLE for your bulletin board! Here are the choices included:
    • 12 DAYS OF KINDNESS
    • KINDNESS CHALLENGE
    • 12 DAYS OF KINDNESS CHALLENGE

NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

This product includes a digital option (as well as the no-prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.

    Thank you

  2. Erica B

    What a great resource! Very creative.

  3. Elissa M

    Wonderful, thorough resource. My only wish is the font/accompanying clip art was targeted more toward middle school, as my junior high students might find the aesthetic a bit young.

  13. A T

    I enjoy using this resource in my classroom.

  14. Maria Staman 

    This is a great product! Thank you. 🙂

  15. JoAnn M

    This was a wonderful way to connect my remote kids to the school community. It was also great to have “kindness to your self” – this is very much needed today. I would like to have some blank boxes so that kids could add additional ideas to the existing ones. However, overall very pleased.

  16. Esther H

    This is an excellent resource-it is higher than 1st grade-at least for my group this year but a second grade and up class would be readily able to make the appropriate connections associated with the content.

  17. Angela C

    This was a beautiful display. My kids enjoyed the kindness options and variations. I had hoped there would be some editable or blank options as many of them I could not use.

  18. Denise L

    Love this! A great way to spread kindness to others!

  19. Samantha P

    I was looking for some more kindness activities when I came across this resource. I have continually had to put kindness activities throughout the year, as my group of students struggle with kindness towards others. This resource made it an easy grab and go activity whenever I needed it.

  20. Amber S

    I love Aaallll of your resources and this one is no exception! This Wonderful Kindness resource is good for any time of year whether it’s December or Spring or end of year. The theme of treating others with Kindness cannot be overestimated!

  21. School Counseling Is Fun 

    I used this with our students to talk about kindness and do things to spread kindness in October. I appreciate this resource!

  22. Kerri F

    Perfect for my SEL lessons the week before Winter break!

  23. Stephanie Young 

    Thank you! I decorated my classroom door with these resources.

  24. Shirlie Y

    This was a perfect way to extend the gratitude challenge from November into December! The students really connected with the choices and made their acts of kindness a priority. Thank you for creating this resource!

  25. Roberta F

    Overall my kids and their families really enjoyed this project. I modified the resource so that the chart was copied back to back – on one side they glued their act of kindness strip, on the other side (in the corresponding numbered box) they wrote me one explanation/impact sentence. My kids are really struggling with writing elaborative sentences. Some of the choices for acts of kindness would never work for my regular classroom, so be prepared to make multiple copies of certain ones to allow everyone to have 4 different acts of kindness per category. I would have liked an editable page to create my own acts – I had to rely on me verbally telling my students how they could adapt the printed ones that didn’t work for us.

  26. Shannon W

    it was helpful

  27. Kaitlin L

    I loved the display, my students struggled to do it though at a title 1 school since a lot of it couldn’t be done during the school day.

  28. Brittany B

    Really cute idea!

  29. Gibson’s Group 

    Thanks!

  30. Verna Lynn G

    Great resource – thanks!

  31. reba K

    The 12 days of kindness activity was great for helping students understand random acts of kindness.
