Today’s daily peace action has promoted a Kindness Challenge in my classroom. I explained to the children that they would take turns naming positive and good things about each other. I have invited a child to stand up and encouraged the other children to name positive characteristics about that child. I have guided students with questions such as, “What is something positive about him/her? Is he/she kind? Is he/she a good friend?” I noticed that when students were encouraged to speak kindly about their peers, the room was filled with positive energy and a heightened sense of belonging. It strengthened their relationships with each other and fostered a supportive environment where everyone felt recognized and respected.
Reflecting on my experience with this daily peace action, I believe it is something I could incorporate into my personal life and teaching. I see the potential for this activity to become a routine part of our day—whether as a morning circle activity or as a way to close the day on a positive note. Regularly practicing kindness reinforces the values of peace education and helps students internalize the importance of compassion and respect.
