Fill a Cup of Kindness

How can your students fill someone else’s cup with their kindness? Use this worksheet to encourage your students to think of ways their acts of kindness can make a difference in the lives of someone they care about. Whether it’s unloading the dishwasher, taking out the trash, or reading a book to a sibling, let students know that their simple acts of kindness can add up to helping make someone’s day better and brighter. The magic of this activity is in its accessibility. Every student, regardless of age or circumstance, can identify something kind they’re capable of doing today — not someday, not with money, but right now with the time and care they already have. Perfect for quiet moments, a brain break after testing, or an art period with purpose, it sends students back into their lives with their eyes open for opportunities to give in the most ordinary, beautiful ways.
