Good to know
A class kindness card is a lovely idea: every child writes one kind sentence for a classmate. Make sure everyone gets one, so the day feels good for the whole class.
If Valentine’s Day is not celebrated in your community, the same pages work any time of year for a friendship or kindness week. Younger children can colour a flower or teddy page and give it to someone they love; older children can write a short letter about why a friend matters to them.
How to use these
- In class, make sure every child receives a card.
- Use the drawing lessons to decorate cards.
- Keep the focus on friendship, family and kindness.
