Power of kindness calendar

Find out how children and young people can practise kindness every day during the coronavirus emergency

As the UK faces a global coronavirus pandemic, things can feel a little uncertain and even overwhelming. But, during these difficult times, one thing is clear: small acts of kindness make a big difference.

Across the country, there has been an outpouring of kindness and children and young people can play their role too. By understanding what we can all do to help tackle this virus, they'll gain a sense of stability and resilience.

The power of kindness calendar helps children and young people learn about and carry out kind acts. There are different sets of kindness activities for both primary school children and secondary school students. For younger learners, facilitators and children will think of kind acts they can do during the month and add them to the blank calendar. For example, they could be more helpful at home, write to a relative or think about how they can safely help someone in the community. For older learners the activities can be carried out individually or together as a family.

Learning objectives

By taking part in the power of kindness calendar activities, children and young people will:

learn about the power of kindness

carry out kind acts

consider how they can be kind to themselves and others

Resource overview

1. Power of kindness calendar
Use the blank calendar to record daily acts of kindness. They can use this to look back on all they have achieved.

2. Activities of kindness
Read the supporting guidance for some ideas for different activities and ideas of daily acts of kindness. There are two different documents, one for primary and one for secondary age groups. Ideas include:

learning about kindness

being grateful

ways to cope

kindness in the community

3. My kind acts
The record card helps children and young people decide on five kind acts that they'll each do during the month. They can use this to look back on all they have achieved.

Rob Biddulph is an award winning children's book author and illustrator and he has a YouTube channel where he posts step by step tutorials of his drawings for children.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When the coronavirus pandemic quarantine period began in Spring/Summer 2020, I realised that lots of people were going to find themselves at home with their children for several weeks/months looking for things to do. So I decided to post a draw-along video every Tuesday and Thursday that parents could watch with their kids and, hopefully, make some nice pictures. They have proved very popular, garnering millions of views across the world. On 21 May 2020 we broke the Guinness World Record for the largest online art lesson when 45,611 households drew a whale with me. From September 2020 lockdown gradually began to ease and kids started going back to school, so I decided to move the #DrawWithRob video slot to Saturdays at 10am BST/GMT so that kids can join in with my Saturday Art Club. And then in August 2021 as life returned to (something like) normal, the videos began to be released slightly more sporadically. But I'm still going! Keep an eye on my social feeds or sign up to my newsletter here to find out when the next video will be released.

Here are all of the videos (scroll down the page). Feel free to watch and share them with anybody and everybody. I'd love to see the results, so please send me your pictures on social media using the hashtag #DrawWithRob. I am @RobBiddulph on Twitter, @rbiddulph on Instagram and robbiddulphauthor on Facebook.
Oh, and please subscribe to my YouTube channel too.

I'm delighted to say that DRAW WITH ROB is now an incredible activity book series (every page features perforated edges so you can easily tear out and display your art). The first book is a Sunday Times number one bestseller, the winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award 2020 and was shortlisted for Children's Illustrated/Non-fiction Book of The Year at the British Book Awards 2021. The second book, Draw With Rob at Christmas, is also a bestseller and was the WHSmith Book of the Month for November 2020. The third book, Draw With Rob: Build A Story, the fourth book, Draw With Rob: Monster Madness, the fifth book, Draw With Rob: Amazing Animals, and the sixth book, Draw With Rob at Halloween, are (guess what) bestsellers too! They are all available to order here.
