Christmas Kindness

by 6 Comments

Teaching about kindness and acceptance seems more important than ever, especially at Christmas.

Here’s a fun and FREE activity to share with your class or children.

It’s very easy: just cut out and assemble the two pieces of Santa’s loooooong beard.

Students give Santa a trim each day – after completing the act of kindness written in each section.

Choose the version you want: PDF or  EDITABLE PowerPoint file (add your own acts of kindness to each section).

 My most popular Christmas Santa craft idea EVER! Students trim a bit off Santa's beard each time they complete the act of kindness listed. Download and print, or add your OWN kindness ideas on the editable template! This is a free download from Whimsy Workshop Teaching.com.png

 Some ideas for use:

 *Print the black and white version for students to assemble and color.
*Print the color version to hang on a bulletin or house display.
*Use the editable version to create your own personalized kindness ideas.
*Send home the blank version as “holiday homework” ; students use each space to record kind things they did over the holiday, and SHARE the ideas in January. This keeps the idea alive even when Christmas is over.
*Use the blank editable version to create your own projects or Christmas lists!

  3. These are just perfect for my kinder-bears. They will be a great way to work on our sentence building and our mechanics, too. I know these will produce some wonderful memories for parents to stash away for the future. Thank you.
