Inside: Use this Kindness Kites Kind or Unkind Sort to help students determine what is kind and what is not during this sel center activity. 


Every February when the days are cold and dreary and dark way too early, I start longing for the warmer weather that spring promises. 

I start hoping for days spent outside, doing fun outdoor activities perfect in Spring, like kite flying and picnics and splashing in rain puddles. 

And I absolutely love when I can tie Spring activities into kindness activities because then it’s a win-win for everyone, like these Spring Kindness Notecards

Use these spring kindness notes to spread cheer and a little kindness this spring to friends and neighbors. 

For March and St. Patrick’s Day, we love our St. Patrick’s Day Kindness Notes and our I am Lucky Poem.

For April and Easter, we love this Easter Kindness Paper Chain Countdown and these Easter Kindness Notes to go in Easter eggs.

For May, Mother’s Day, and Teacher Appreciation Week, we love our Mother’s Day Kindness Poem and our School Staff Appreciation Kindness Notes.

We encourage our kids to be kind throughout spring with our Spring Kindness Challenge.

And we of course love these Kindness Kites Kind or Unkind Sort intentionally teach sel curriculum.

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 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 black and white version, students can color in the images that are kind and x off the images that are unkind.
