They can do this in small groups during centers, independently, or you can do it as a whole group in a pocket chart. 

If there are too many cards, you can only give students half the cards at once so they are more successful. 

7. To follow up on the activity, students can complete the Kind or Unkind worksheet to show their understanding. 

Students will cross off or circle the actions on the worksheet. If you use the black and white version, students can color in the images that are kind and x off the images that are unkind.
