Kindness challenge

A kindness challenge for the class: twenty doors, each with one small kind act to do at school or at home. Open a door, do the task and tick it off as done.

When to use it

A kindness week or a month of the school year. A class routine that gets pupils doing something for each other. A start to a lesson on friendship and feelings.

Kindness challenge

Twenty small acts of kindness. Open a door, do the task and tick it off when it is done.

Why the example is built this way

  1. A task behind every door.

    Each door holds one small kind act to do at school or at home, with a line on how to do it. None of them costs money.

  2. Tick it off when it's done.

    Every task has a Done! button, so pupils can mark what they did. With results switched on in your copy, you see per pupil which tasks were done.

  3. A pinboard of notes.

    The Pinboard scene shows the doors as notes pinned to a cork board, like a kindness wall in the classroom. The doors open any time, in any order.
