Inside: Use this Christmas Kindness Activity Kind or Unkind Sort to help kids determine what is kind and what is not kind. 


Christmas time is a magical time. 

Maybe it’s the lights or the anticipation of the gift-giving and the gift-receiving or maybe it’s because we get pass down the traditions we had as kids. 

But December tends to be a time when we focus more on kindness and generosity and helping those around us. 

We put money in Santa’s bucket when he’s ringing his bell. We donate toys to Angel Trees and Toys for Tots or “adopt” a family and food banks fill their shelves with donations. 

Of course, we want to teach our kids to be kind year-round, like with this 365 Days of Kindness Calendar, but it just feels easier in December. 

So to encourage even more kindness during December we use this Countdown to Christmas Kindness Paper Chain or this Kindness Advent Calendar with one kind activity per day. 

Or for classroom teachers, you can also use this Kindness Countdown to Winter Break…since is a super exciting part of December!

We use these Kindness Elves to inspire more Christmas kindness and these this Christmas Lights Random Acts of Kindness for neighbors who decorate their houses for Christmas as a way to say “thank you.” 

And we also intentionally teach what is kind and what is not kind with this Christmas-themed Kind or Unkind Sort.

How to Encourage Kindness During the Winter Months 

Once December and Christmas is past us, it can be a bit of a letdown. January and February can easily be lonely months, especially with dreary weather without the Christmas lights to brighten our mood.
