Going for the Extra Point

The Drive is done, you are thinking about King Day, but haven't committed yet....

Challenge your students to go for the "extra point" and finalize a King Day project before they leave for Xmas break.

It will fit in nicely with lessons about giving and sharing at this time of year and allow you a much needed time filler that will actually mean something in the future!

Below are 10 Easy King Day Ideas

1. Teach a game to younger students at an after-school program. Help them play fairly and teach them to use problem-solving to settle disputes.

2.Create cards of support for children or families in a homeless shelter or for service men and women.

3.Give flowers (real or artistic models) to residents in a retirement community

4.Students can read aloud to preschool-age children at an at-risk school or shelter to help the children develop a love of reading.

5.Play games with children from a local at-risk school.

6.Arrange regular class visits to residents at a retirement home.

7.Learn to knit, and donate homemade hats.

8.Make and give out buttons with kindness slogans on them.

9.Create bookmarks with kindness slogans and random acts of kindness ideas.

10.Give a compliment to someone.

End your year with a big W! Plan King Day now!
