How to Use this Kindness Cookies Kind or Unkind Sort
1. Purchase and download the kindness cookies activity.
2. Print the cookies in color or black and white on cardstock.
3. If you print them in black and white, color the cookies in.
Make sure to use skin color crayons like these so the clipart showcases diverse students.
4. Cut apart the cookies and laminate them for durability.
5. Go over the pictures on the cards to ensure children understand what the picture depicts. You can use these as discussion starters before or after the activity.
6. The students will sort the cards by kind actions or unkind actions by placing the cards near the correct cookie jar.
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.
8. To connect this sel curriculum to writing skills, students can draw a picture/write how they will choose to be kind this season. If students are prewriters, they can dictate their answer and draw a picture.
Kindness that is delicious and fun is a triple whammy.
