FRIENDSHIP AND KINDNESS

Promoting friendship and kindness in kindergarten can help children develop important social and emotional skills.
Here's an activity plan for Friendship and Kindness Week in a kindergarten setting:

Day 1: Introduction to Kindness


- Begin by discussing what it means to be kind and why kindness is important.
- Read stories about friendship and kindness, such as "The Rainbow Fish" by Marcus Pfister or "The Kindness Quilt"
by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace.
- Have a group discussion about times when someone has been kind to them or when they have shown kindness to
others.

2: Friendship Building Activities


- Engage in team-building activities and games that encourage cooperation and communication, such as a group art
project or a collaborative building activity.
- Discuss the qualities of a good friend and create a "Friendship Recipe" poster with input from the children.

3: Acts of Kindness
- Introduce the concept of performing acts of kindness for others.
- Brainstorm and create a list of kind deeds that the children can do for their classmates, teachers, and family
members, such as sharing toys, giving compliments, or helping someone in need.

4: Friendship Craft Day


- Plan craft activities focused on friendship, such as creating friendship bracelets, making "friendship flowers" with
positive messages, or crafting friendship-themed cards.
- Encourage the children to exchange their crafts with each other as a way to express friendship and appreciation.

5: Kindness Celebration
- Organize a kindness celebration where children can share stories and experiences of kindness throughout the week.
- Have a "kindness parade" where children can walk around the school or classroom, holding signs with messages of
kindness and friendship.
- Conclude the week with a special "kindness awards" ceremony, where each child can receive a certificate
recognizing an act of kindness they demonstrated during the week.

Throughout the week, incorporate discussions about the feelings associated with kindness and friendship, as well as
the positive impact of these behaviors on others. Encourage children to express their emotions, empathize with their
peers, and reflect on the importance of treating others with respect and care.

By engaging in these activities, kindergartners can develop a deeper understanding of the value of friendship and
kindness, while also practicing important social skills that will benefit them both in and out of the classroom.
