What educators are saying
This was such a fun way to incorporate kindness into our classroom. The students looked forward to flipping our advent calendar each day and went out of their way to perform the kindness task.
This was a great supplemental activity for my class during Advent and Christmas preparation. I especially loved the focus on kindness!!
Description
Encourage your students to engage in random acts of kindness in the 25 days leading up to Christmas! The "Christmas Kindness Countdown" is an advent calendar for your classroom. These cards are perfect for kids of all ages and will really help students focus on what is important during the holidays season. A great way to build character and classroom community!
