Encourage kindness and inclusion in your classroom with a worksheet that reinforces the importance of treating others with respect, promoting inclusion and friendship, while simultaneously discouraging unfriendly behaviours.

Featuring diverse clipart and two bold message options to choose from, this worksheet is perfect for use during Harmony Day, National Day Against Bullying and Violence, Bullying No Way Week, or as a year-round reminder for students to choose kindness, empathy and inclusivity.

In addition to the worksheets with friendly behaviours slogans, we have included blank and lined versions and an editable worksheet where you can personalise the message you wish to share with your students.

Additional Tips:

1. Use the blank or lined worksheets for students to come up with their own friendly behaviours slogan. Alternatively, they can write a sentence or paragraph about why it is important to treat others with kindness and respect.
2. Use the blank worksheet for students to draw a picture that shows what the world would be like if people were buddies, not bullies.
3. Have a meaningful discussion with students about what it means to ‘be a buddy’ and how it contrasts with unfriendly behaviours.
4. Younger students may benefit from having this resource enlarged to A3.

Extension Ideas:

1. Writing Prompt: Use the lined worksheets and have students write about a time when someone was a buddy to them or when they stood up against unfriendly behaviours.
2. Kindness Chain: Start a kindness paper chain where students write down one act of kindness they did for a classmate each day.
3. Role-Play: Use the worksheet as a prompt for students to act out different scenarios where they can be a buddy and show friendly behaviours towards others.

This worksheet will encourage students to consider the importance of treating others with kindness.
