About this resource
What's inside this resource
Six kindness posters give young learners 48 words to see, say and act on. Each poster groups eight words under one theme: Words That Lift Others Up, Including Others, Calm and Gentle, Kind to Myself, Kind in My Neighborhood, and Kind to Animals and Earth. Every word gets its own card with a short line that shows what it looks like, such as "Save a seat for a classmate" for save or "Leave bird nests where they are" for protect. About half of the word cards also carry a small picture.
Two pages of word-wall cards repeat all 48 words for cutting apart, each with a thin color stripe that ties it back to its poster. On the practice page, students match four classroom scenes to kindness words, pick the kind choice in four everyday problems and finish a short kindness plan. The answer page gives the matches, each kind choice with a brief reason, a sample plan and the full word list sorted by poster.
