Ruhi Book 3 Lesson: Kindness

Bookmark and Share

Here are some suggestions for additional ideas and activities for teaching about KINDNESS.

I am not going to repeat in my posts what you already have in your Ruhi Books (I do the lessons from the book and the following ideas are supplemental activities to add to your lessons or replace parts of the lessons). The key is to keep it still simple enough that another teacher could also take over if necessary. As always, I would like to hear from you. What ideas and activities have you used? Click on the comment link at the bottom of this post to share your ideas.

Song:
To get the pdf of lyrics for the songs and coloring pages for each lesson, click here. This link will take you to the section within ruhiresources.org that has the lyrics and coloring pages.

You can also find CDs with the songs and sheet music by clicking here. This link will take you to the section in ruhiresources.org that has this information.

A great song to use is called "Kindness" and it is from the album "Be Bop Your Best" by Red Grammer.

You can find out more on Amazon by clicking on the CD picture:

This whole album is a great resource for teaching character/virtues education. For more info, go to http://www.redgrammer.com/.

Art Activity:
You can also have the children make coupon books/cards for their friends/family. I cut out heart shapes from pretty flower wrapping paper and gave one to each child to tape the edges onto the inside of their card. This made a heart-shaped pocket inside their card. I then made flower shaped coupons for them to store inside the heart-shaped vase (pocket). The coupons could say things like, "This coupon is good for: cleaning my room."

This is how the coupons look:
This is how the inside of the card could look:

Here is a free pdf file of the coupons I created. You can download or print to pdf and use for your own class. The stem has the "This coupon is good for" and the flower part is blank for the children to write in something like: "A big hug" (or you can help them write it in):

Now it's your turn...I would like to hear from you :).
