The Classroom Edition
Kindness Checklist
​
Students are challenged to perform acts of kindness using the GKC - Classroom Edition kindness checklist. Each act of kindness from the Classroom Edition Checklist has a corresponding kindness lesson. You choose how many acts per week i.e. how many kindness lessons to implement. Students use the GKC - Classroom Edition checklist to keep track of their progress througout the year.
The kind acts on the kindness checklist focus on key kindness concepts:
-
caring (incl. self-care)
-
respect
-
gratitude
-
inclusiveness
The Great Kindness Challenge is an action-based program and the kindness concepts are internalized through the hands-on experiences.
