Listen Later

The holiday season is here, and there’s no better time to embrace the spirit of giving! This episode is all about ways to encourage kindness in the classroom, showing students how small acts can make a big difference.

 Kindness doesn’t cost a thing, yet it holds the power to brighten someone’s day—especially during Christmas! Here are 7 easy, heartwarming ideas for incorporating kindness into your classroom this holiday season.

7 Ways to Promote Christmas Kindness Lessons in the Classroom:

  1. Daily Reminders – Start each day with a simple reminder or quote about kindness to set the tone for the season.
  2. Dedicating a Lesson to Kindness – Take time to explore what kindness means and why it’s important. This reflection helps students understand the impact they can have on others (find a lesson linked at th end).
  3. Kindness Advent Calendar – Create a countdown to Christmas filled with daily kindness challenges, motivating students to spread cheer each day.
  4. Make Kindness Baubles – Get crafty! Have students decorate baubles with kind messages or actions, adding a personal touch to the classroom decor.
  5. Kindness Compliment Wreaths – Help students create wreaths filled with compliments for their classmates, a beautiful reminder of the positive things we see in each other.
  6. Run a Kindness Kris Kringle – Encourage students to be “secret givers” by performing small acts of kindness for each other—it's a surprise they’ll love!
  7. Kindness Campaign Flyers – Design and post flyers around the school, encouraging everyone to participate in spreading kindness throughout the community.


Christmas is an ideal time to help students reflect on how they can give back and make a difference simply by being kind. It’s a beautiful reminder that kindness, especially in this expensive time of year, is always free and appreciated.
