Kindness Activity + the Impact of our Words - SEL Classroom Lesson

By Jeni Donath

This Kindness Activity brings a whole new perspective on the impact of our words and how they can get carried throughout the day. For this activity, you will be provided with the Google Slide digital download which includes key notes, instructions for you and your class, visuals, reflective points, and a "ready to use" download. You will also need: heavy books, balloons (or feathers, crumpled paper, or other 'light' items), post-it notes, and a bucket or other container to hold the post-it notes. This lesson is both interactive and impactful - leading to reflection and discussion for all. It is important to note that some students may use this activity as a way to identify harsh, heavy, or negative comments that may be occurring within the school building and the counselor, support staff, or teacher should be prepared to address this with the class, while acknowledgement that some comments brought up may be better addressed in a more private setting. This lesson has been a huge environment changer for my middle school students!
