Play it together in the car, on the walk to school, or at bedtime. It takes about two minutes. Afterwards, ask your child to think of one kind thing they could do today, for someone else or for themselves.

01I can be kind today. Kind words help the people around me feel good.
02I can share and take turns. Little kind things matter a lot.
03If someone is sitting alone, I can say hi and ask them to play.
04When I make a mistake, I’m kind to me too. I’m still learning.
05Everybody feels sad or grumpy sometimes. I can be gentle when they do.
06When I feel angry, I stop and breathe. I use my words, not my hands.
07If I hurt someone’s feelings, I say sorry and try to make it better.
08I say thank you, and I notice when people are kind to me.
09Being kind doesn’t mean letting people be mean to me. I can still say no.
10Kind to me, kind to you. Kindness makes my home and my class happier.

Why it’s written this way
Children learn kindness best through small, concrete actions they can picture, so every note here is something a child can actually do: share, take turns, say hi to someone sitting alone, say sorry, say thank you. The words are short and simple, one idea at a time.
The loop includes kindness to themselves on purpose. The note about mistakes gives children a kind way to talk to themselves, which they can carry into the classroom. The note about anger is practical, offering a simple sequence for big feelings: stop, breathe, words instead of hands.
The note about being kind and still saying no matters. Kindness should never mean letting others treat them badly, and children need to hear that alongside the rest. It ends with a rhyme-like line, kind to me, kind to you, that children enjoy repeating, so the loop returns to its beginning naturally.
