What children will learn
- Practise empathy by thinking about what others need
- Use kind words in speaking and writing
- Reflect on feelings and how actions affect others
You'll need
- This page printed
- Paper, pencils and colouring pencils for cards and notes
- Gardening gloves (for the litter pick-up)
Safety first
- For the litter pick-up, wear gloves, stay with an adult and never pick up glass, sharp objects or needles — tell an adult instead.
- Wash hands afterwards.
How to do it
- Stick the challenge sheet on the fridge and read the seven acts of kindness together.
- Do one act each day. You can swap the order or replace an act with your own idea.
- After each act, talk about it: How do you think the other person felt? How did you feel?
- Draw a smiley face or write a word in the 'How did it feel?' column.
- At the end of the week, celebrate together and choose a favourite act to keep doing.
Make it easier
Do the challenges together as a family, with an adult helping with writing and drawing.
Make it harder
Keep a kindness journal with a few sentences each day, or plan a bigger kind project for your school or community.
Parent tip: Notice and name kindness when you see it ('That was thoughtful of you'). Recognition does more than rewards to make kindness a habit.
