Overview

Watch & read

Week Eleven continues to nurture kindness, creativity, joyful movement, and emotional connection through a series of playful, heartwarming activities. Students begin with Kindness Catch, a simple ball-passing game that helps children confidently share kind actions and practice speaking with warmth and positivity. They then move into creative expression with Kindness Garden, drawing flowers that represent acts of kindness and adding them to a shared class display, helping students reflect on the power of kindness and celebrate it visually together.

‍

The week then shifts into joyful movement with Pass the Smile, where children use playful gestures, silly movements, and non-verbal expressions to spread happiness around the circle. Finally, students build connection and confidence through Compliment Chain, offering and receiving compliments that highlight the unique qualities of their classmates. Together, these activities strengthen communication, empathy, creativity, and belonging. Week Eleven encourages students to recognise kindness in themselves and others, creating a classroom environment filled with appreciation, connection, and joyful expression.
