Welcome, everyone! Today we will learn about kindness. Explain that by the end of our lesson, we will be able to: define kindness, spot examples of kind and unkind behaviors, and create our very own kindness pledge.

Display the [Kindness Chart](#kindness-chart) on the board. Ask students: “What does kindness mean to you?” Record responses. Highlight that kindness can be helping, sharing, or saying kind words.

Divide students into groups of 3–4. Hand out the [Kindness Scenario Cards](#kindness-scenario-cards). Ask each group to sort their cards into two piles: “Kind” and “Not Kind.” Circulate and prompt discussion: “Why is this kind?” or “How could we make it kinder?”

Read each scenario aloud. After each, ask the class to show a thumbs-up if it’s kind or thumbs-down if it’s not kind.

Distribute the [Kindness Pledge Worksheet](#kindness-pledge-worksheet) to each student. Read the prompt together: “I will show kindness by …” Encourage neat writing or drawing, and let students decorate with stickers.

Invite volunteers to share their pledges with the class. After each share, classmates give a thumbs-up or sticker. Collect pledges and post them on a “Kindness Wall” to remind everyone of our commitments.
