Inspiration for Kindness Rocks

This slide introduces the concept of kindness rocks with bright, colorful visuals. The teacher can ask the students what they see in the images and how those visuals make them feel. Use simple language to explain how each design promotes a message of kindness.

Words of Kindness

The teacher should highlight simple words of kindness shown on the rocks. Encourage students to think of a kind message they'd like to share.

Colorful Designs

Display images and simple designs, using warm colors as shown in the chosen theme. Engage the class by asking them which colors they see and how these colors make them feel.

Sharing Kindness

Wrap up the slide deck with a final reminder of the day's message: kindness makes the world a better place. Invite a couple of students to share their thoughts on kindness as seen in the slides.
