Need Kindness Week activities? Promote a culture of SEL and character development all while practicing printing and cursive penmanship by tracing kindness statements and responding to related kindness-themed writing prompts. This handwriting bundle helps foster empathy, compassion, and positive relationships. It's a great way to start the day off on a positive note while still sneaking in a bit of extra writing practice. It’s the perfect way to celebrate Kindness Week, Random Acts of Kindness Day, or The Great Kindness Challenge, or simply use all year long as bell work or in your centers rotation.

How It Works . . .

Students trace and practice one of 20 different kindness statements, then respond to a related writing prompt. The cursive and printing pages are based on the same 20 affirmations and are presented in the same order, allowing you to differentiate for student needs while still giving the class the same writing prompt to respond to and discuss.

If you print out copies and place them in sheet protectors in your students' binders, kids can use their whiteboard markers and practice the same affirmation each day for the whole week, which save on copies and ink.
