Lesson 7: The Power of Kindness | Creative Writing & Art Therapy for Kids | Jetpulse Studios

Focus: kindness, empathy, and emotional intelligence.

Lesson Objective:
Students will explore what it truly means to be a hero — not through strength or power, but through kindness. They’ll learn how small acts of compassion can make a big difference in the world around them.

Learning Goals:

• Understand that kindness is a real-life superpower

• Identify ways to show empathy and help others

• Express kindness through both art and action

Activity: Acts of Kindness Comic Strip

Students will create a short 3–4 panel comic strip showing their superhero performing an act of kindness.
Examples include:

• Helping someone in need

• Standing up for a friend

• Sharing something valuable

• Encouraging someone who feels left out

Prompts to include:

1. What was the situation?

2. What did your hero do to help?

3. How did it make others feel?

4. How did your hero feel afterward?

Reflection: Everyday Heroes

1. What’s one kind thing you can do this week?

Therapeutic Focus:

This week builds empathy and self-awareness, helping children see that being kind creates safety, connection, and confidence — powerful skills both in and out of the classroom.
