Fill a stocking with kindness Christmas printable activity templates worksheets

Set your class a week-long kindness challenge with this 'fill a stocking with kindness' activity. This Christmas printable will get your students reflecting on why kindness is important, and how to show it to others during the holiday season. You have the option to use the completed stockings for a kindness bulletin board display.

The activity

Print a stocking template for each student. Each stripe on their stocking represents a day of the week. There are templates for 5 days (to use for a school week), or for 7 days if you want the challenge to continue over the weekend.

For the next week, students will try to complete an act of kindness every day. For each one, they can color in a stripe on their stocking (starting at the bottom), and write what they did. By the end of the week, they will have a rainbow-striped Christmas stocking of kindness.

The templates

You can choose the template options that best suit you.

• Stocking with 5 stripes (for 5 days) with a border. Designed to be used as a stand-alone worksheet.
• As above but with 7 stripes
• 4 x stocking designs, each with 5 stripes, to be printed on cardstock and cut out on completion. These can then be used to create a Christmas kindness bulletin board display.
• As above but the stockings have 7 stripes.

In addition to the activity template, this resource includes:

• Teacher notes
• 2 optional worksheet printables for children to complete before and after the challenge
