The learning connection
Embodied cognition suggests that physical actions solidify concepts. Writing acts of kindness and placing them in a jar allows children to connect the idea of kindness with a fun, hands-on activity, fostering a habit of being kind.
Try it with your learner
1. Gather an empty jar or container and colorful paper strips. 2. Write one act of kindness on each strip (like 'help Amma cook' or 'share a toy'). 3. Fold each strip and place it inside the jar. 4. Decorate the jar with stickers or drawings to make it special. 5. Each week, pick one strip and perform that act of kindness. 6. Share your experiences with your family at the end of the week.
