Free Kindness Activities & Coloring Pages for Kids (6 Printable PDFs)

Free kindness activities and coloring pages for kids

Children do not become kind by being told to be kind. They learn it by practicing it, noticing it and talking about it. These free kindness activities for kids give you six printable pages to start with: three kindness coloring pages, a thumbs up and thumbs down sheet, a tracing page and a challenge chart.

To be honest about it, these six are a free sample of a larger 20-page kindness pack. They are complete pages, though, and enough for a week of calm morning activities with preschool or kindergarten. Each one is its own PDF and prints well in black and white.

How to Use These Kindness Activities

I start with one coloring page and a short chat, never a lecture. Ask what the children in the picture are doing and how the other child feels, then let everyone color while they talk. Sharing Is Caring works well right before free play, when sharing is about to be tested for real.

Do the thumbs up and thumbs down page on the carpet first. Read each sentence aloud, let children show a thumb with their hand, and only then let them color. You will hear some honest answers, and that is the point. Children often know a mean act when they hear one, but need a calm place to say so.

Kindness sticks when it is noticed. Use the challenge chart for a week: one star for each kind act, at school or at home, about effort and never a competition. When you see a child share or help, name it right then. Kindergarteners can trace and write the sentences on their own, while preschoolers can simply color the letters. World Kindness Day on November 13 is a natural moment to use these pages, but they work all year.
