Lesson Plan

Kindness Superpowers

Students will learn to recognize unkind behaviors and practice kindness by singing a song, listening to an empathy story, role-playing positive actions, and reflecting through coloring, building their ability to stand up for friends and act with care.

Early social-emotional skills help Pre-K students identify bullying, develop empathy, and build a supportive classroom culture. This lesson lays a foundation for respectful interactions and friendship.

Slide Deck

Kindness Superpowers

Welcome everyone! Gather the children in a circle. Introduce yourself and say: “Today we’re going to discover our Kindness Superpowers! We’ll learn how to help friends feel happy and safe.”

What Is Kindness?

Show the [Empathy Poster](#empathy-poster) on the board or wall. Ask: “What does kindness mean? How can we show we care?” Listen to answers and praise each idea.

Sing Along: Kindness Song

Play or sing the [Kindness Song Lyrics](#kindness-song-lyrics). Demonstrate simple hand motions: point to heart, give a thumbs up, open arms for sharing.

Storytime: Alex and Sam

Introduce the story: use puppets or voices when reading the [Anti-Bullying Storybook Script](#anti-bullying-storybook-script). Pause at key moments to ask: “How did Alex feel? What could Alex do next?”

Let’s Role-Play!

Divide children into small groups. Give each group a [Role-Play Cue Card](#role-play-cue-cards). Ask them to act out first unkindly, then with kindness—like sharing a toy or using gentle words.

Color Your Superpower

Hand out the [Friendship Reflection Coloring Sheet](#friendship-reflection-coloring-sheet). Invite each child to draw themselves using a kindness superpower. Circulate, comment on drawings, and ask a few to share.
