Encouraging Kindness with an Acrostic Poem Activity (Free Printable)

Teaching kindness is one of the most important lessons we can share with our children. Encouraging kids to think about and practice kindness in their daily lives helps them develop empathy, build strong relationships, and create a more compassionate world. One fun and meaningful way to reinforce kindness is through an Acrostic Poem Activity with this free printable!

What is an Acrostic Poem?

An acrostic poem is a simple and creative way to express ideas. Each letter of a chosen word becomes the beginning of a new line, with each line representing something related to the theme. In this case, we’re using the word KINDNESS to inspire children to think about different ways they can show kindness to others.
