Lesson Plan

Compass of Kindness Lesson Plan

Students will learn what compassion means and why it matters by watching a brief video, discussing real‐life examples, and reflecting on ways to show kindness. They will identify one compassionate action they can practice.

Teaching compassion builds empathy and strengthens classroom relationships. When students understand and practice kindness, they create a supportive, inclusive learning environment.
