Play Based Kindness Curriculum

The goal of Kind Club is to guide children in living a caring and confident life. You will notice as you work together on these activities that your relationship will improve due to open communication and building trust. Not only will your children become kinder and more thoughtful, so will you! Taking the time to slow down and be mindful of how we treat ourselves and others is beneficial at any age.

Please read through the unit before you begin. Implement as many of the tips as possible throughout your day and incorporate into your daily routine. The more you celebrate and utilize the learning, the deeper the brain connections will become. Each unit will have a unique theme to keep the learning engaging and fresh.

Unit 1 Be Kind to Yourself

Unit 2: Be Kind to your Friends

Unit 3: Be Kind to your Family

Unit 4: Be Kind to your Community

Each unit will include an Opening Conversation, Cooperative Game, Imagination Activity, Storytime and Free Play. The combination of conversation, practice and play is the key to creating lasting learning and growth.

Throughout this program you will be having conversations that will require listening and respect. If your child is not able to have these types of conversations, then I suggest starting with Unit 3- “Be Kind to Your Family”. This section will help you and your child grow together and practice the listening and responding skills that are necessary to have these serious conversations.

My wish is that this curriculum will allow children to live with the peace of knowing that they are in control of how they treat themselves and others. I also believe that along the way we as adults have forgotten how to be kind and mindful role models. Through teaching our children, we can reteach and remind ourselves of the importance of kindness.

Happy Learning!
