Be kind
Kindness costs nothing but is worth everything. Saying hello in the morning to the school security guard, helping a sick friend by filling them in on what they missed or helping someone carry their books, are all quick and easy ways to spread kindness in school.This could really pick up someone’s hard day, and they will almost always reciprocate the gesture.
Give a lesson
Teach your class about kindness. Bring someone from an NGO you support to lecture in your class and teach the fellow students about a cause that matters to you. A lot of organizations have someone who does that or a short training session to help you spread the word yourself. This is a great way to raise awareness in your area to issues close to your heart, plus it gives off a positive vibe.
Volunteer together
Looking for something fun to do with your classmates? Volunteering together is a wonderful option! Sit down together and list the causes that matter to you most- elderly, animal care, helping people with disabilities or any other issue. Choose one, and find an organization that supports that cause to volunteer in. Then go out, have some fun, and do something meaningful with your time together!
Lead the Way with Classroom Recycling
Have you got any notebooks left over from last year? Don’t just forget them at the back of the cupboard – either use them yourself or donate them to someone else who needs them. School supplies are a great treasure to some. You could also buy another batch when shopping for the new year and donate those to a learning center for low income teens.
Spark Kindness with a Kindness Jar
Encourage students to write down acts of kindness they observe in the classroom. Once the jar is full, celebrate the collective kindness with a small class reward or event.
Spread the Love with a Book Drive
Want to teachkids the value of sharing and literacy? Collect gently used books to donate to other classrooms, libraries, or children in need.
Grow Together with a Classroom Plant Project
Teach students about responsibility and care by having them take turns caring for a classroom plant. This also adds a touch of nature to the learning environment.
Make a Global Impact
Choose a global cause that aligns with your curriculum and have the class participate in fundraising or awareness activities. This helps students learn about global issues and the importance of giving back.
Get Involved with Community Service Projects
Organize small community service projects, such as writing letters to local nursing homes, creating care packages for the homeless, or organizing a class fundraiser for a cause.
Shine Bright with a Gratitude Wall
Create a space where students can post notes about what they are grateful for. This encourages positive thinking and helps build a culture of appreciation in the classroom.
Let’s make the classroom a place where doing good is at the heart of everything we do!
