The free 10-day kindness challenge for primary schools
Ten school days, ten kindness values, one class certificate. Starts on Friday 13 November (World Kindness Day) and finishes on Thursday 26 November.
Kindness is a superpower. Children can practise it.
Small acts of kindness ripple out to friends, families and whole schools. When adults model kindness, children learn it too, and it builds the emotional intelligence that helps them stay resilient.
Kindness Unlocked™ turns that into a 10-day kindness challenge: ten simple class moments, one value a day.
