Kindness Garden Lesson Plan

In this 30-minute lesson, Pre-K students will explore why kindness matters and practice spreading it through a story, a craft activity, a song, and group sharing.

Building kindness early fosters social-emotional development, a positive classroom community, and empathy in young learners. This lesson helps children recognize and act on kind opportunities each day.
