TRY THESE WITH KIDS
1. Imagine Their Shoes
Ask: “Think of someone who had a hard day. Briefly describe the challenges they faced. What might it feel like to be in their shoes?” Invite a few shares to practice perspective-taking.
2. Kindness Ripple
Prompt: “What’s one small kind action you could do for someone today?” (Example: share supplies, give a compliment). "How might that affect the rest of their day?" Let students share ideas and notice how compassion spreads.
3. Comfort Role-Play
Pair students up: one acts sad, the other practices a compassionate response (kind words, asking how to help). Switch roles, then reflect on what felt good to receive.
