Kindness Matters – 8 Meaningful Resources to Promote Kindness in Early Years and KS1

Unlock the power of kindness with this thoughtful and engaging resource pack, designed to support the teaching of empathy, compassion, and positive behaviour.

This 8-piece collection includes reward cards, literacy-based activities, kindness games, and printable “post-it” notes — all crafted to help children recognise and practise acts of kindness in everyday life.

What’s included:

Reward pictures to hand out when children are spotted being kind, respectful, sharing, or being a good friend

A writing activity where children write a sentence for each picture to explain how the child is feeling and why

A prompt to write three acts of kindness they will complete today

Kindness “post-it” notes to write thank-you messages — some heart-shaped, others classic yellow — perfect for handing out or displaying

A bingo-style kindness card to track kind actions in a fun way

A sheet with three boxes for writing different reasons why kindness matters

A writing activity where children explain what they would do in each pictured situation

All activities are open-ended and suitable for whole-class, small group, or independent use

Encourage a culture of thoughtfulness in your classroom with this beautifully designed kindness pack.
