Kindness Spinner
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Kindness Spinner" is written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade (Ages 5-8). It also works a grade below or above: younger children can use it with an adult reading it aloud, and older ones as a quick refresher.


Kindness Spinner for K to 2nd grade: a 6-section picture spinner of kind acts and an arrow to cut out and join with a paper fastener. Part of our Random Acts of Kindness holiday activities collection.

What is the Kindness Spinner?
⌄
One page with a round spinner in 6 sections, each with a picture and a kind act: Give a compliment, Share a crayon, Help a friend, Say thank you, Include someone and Make someone smile. An arrow to cut out and short building directions sit below it.
Can I use the Kindness Spinner at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

8 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 35 Random Acts of Kindness resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Random Acts of Kindness activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Random Acts of Kindness resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Random Acts of Kindness resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
