Random acts of kindness and showing kindness have certainly been key messages this year, perhaps more than ever. Teaching kids to be kind is the best thing you can do within your classroom, school, and community! With the holidays just around the corner, we decided to create an incredible classroom display featuring Random Acts of Kindness your students can do at school.

Excited yet?
Or, are you wondering how long it will take to print, cut, and then create the display? Thinking you don’t have enough time with everything else you have to do before winter break? Well, we thought of all of this when we created this resource. For example, the title isn’t individual letters that you have to try and painfully cut out – all you need to do is print the title and stick the two pages together! Plus, we made the ornaments super easy to cut out!
Tips for Creating and Using This Display
What you’ll need:
- Printed display (color or black and white)
- Scissors
- Glue
- String
- Clothespins
Let’s talk about the ornaments. Each one can be assembled to be double-sided with a number on one side and a random act of kindness on the other. Once you have printed and cut out the ornaments, simply glue each one’s front and back together or use double-sided tape.
A bit of string hung up underneath the super easy-to-create display banner, add some clothespins, and you’re almost done – clip each ornament with the number facing out! Then, each day, turn over the card to reveal the random act of kindness for your students to complete that day – easy!
If you’re feeling extra creative, there are some additional cut-out decorations included in the resource download that you can add to your display to make it a little bit more special.
You might like to check out our 12 Days of Kindness – Holiday Worksheet as well. Students can either write or draw on each of the ornaments to record what they did each of the days.
