Every year on February 17th, National Random Acts of Kindness Day is celebrated. It’s an annual celebration that encourages people of all ages to spread love, compassion, and goodwill. This day also serves as a wonderful opportunity to teach children the importance of compassion and empathy. In the spirit of fostering a culture of kindness, educators and parents can engage children in meaningful craft worksheets. We’ve created printable worksheets featuring a ‘Kindness Flower’ and ‘Kindness Tags’ as creative tools to inspire acts of kindness and gratitude.
These worksheets are a small yet significant step in cultivating a future generation that understands the power of kindness and the positive impact it can create in the world.
The Kindness Flower Worksheet:
The Kindness Flower worksheet is an engaging and interactive exercise designed for children to visualise and express their acts of kindness. The worksheet provides a flower template featuring numerous petals, each representing a distinct act of kindness. Educators, parents, or caretakers can encourage kids to describe or illustrate a kind deed on each petal, whether it’s something they have already done or plan to do. They can also colour these petals using crayons, pencil colours, or markers to make them look visually appealing.
This activity not only prompts kids to contemplate kindness but also acts as a tangible reminder of the positive influence they can exert on others.
Kindness Gift Tags:
In addition to the Kindness Flower, the worksheet incorporates Kindness Tags. These tags are small and can be customised by children to recognise and value the kindness of others. Each tag includes a “Kindness Recipe” prompt, providing kids with an opportunity to express gratitude.
Children can personalise the tags with their own messages or drawings, adding a unique and heartfelt touch. These Kindness Tags can be shared with classmates, friends, or family members to spread joy and positivity. The exchange of these tags fosters a culture of kindness and emphasises the significance of expressing appreciation for the good deeds of others.
