Kindness - Lesson for Kindergarten, Chapter - Good Citizenship
In the "Kindness" lesson, part of the Good Citizenship chapter within the Citizenship unit, kindergarteners will embark on a journey to understand and practice the fundamental value of kindness. Through engaging activities such as the "Manners at School Worksheet" and the "Kindness Maze Worksheet," students will learn the importance of being polite, respectful, and considerate towards others in their school and daily lives. This lesson aims to instill the concept that kindness is a key component of being a good citizen.
By participating in these activities, students will grasp how simple acts of kindness, like saying "please" and "thank you," helping a friend in need, or sharing with others, can significantly impact their classroom environment and community. They will discover that kindness not only makes others feel valued and respected but also fosters a positive and inclusive atmosphere where everyone can thrive.
Understanding and practicing kindness from an early age is crucial as it lays the foundation for developing empathy, building strong relationships, and promoting a sense of belonging. This lesson empowers kindergarteners to be proactive in contributing to a kinder, more compassionate world, starting with their classroom.

Activity 1 / Manners at School Worksheet
Teach your child how to be better behaved in school and in the community. Look through the worksheet with your young one and ask them what each child is doing in the pictures. Then, ask them if the children in the pictures are being rude or polite. Next, check the boxes of the pictures with children being polite. Explain to your child how they can be well-behaved in school by acting like the polite children.

Activity 2 / Kindness Maze Worksheet
Kindness is often rewarded with gifts and prizes. When your children do good deeds, do you reward them with gifts or you simply compliment them and make them feel good? Whichever way is fine. The students in this worksheet have been awarded the Good Citizen Award for being kind. Your kids must help the kid students find their way to the award, which is at the middle of the maze. Help them make their way through the maze to get to the award.
