Creating a supportive classroom environment helps students feel valued, connected and confident. These circle of kindness templates provide a simple and meaningful way for students to recognise the positive qualities, achievements and contributions of their classmates.

Designed as a class affirmation activity, students write their name at the top of the template before participating in a kindness circle. As the template is passed around the group, classmates add encouraging comments, positive observations and memorable reflections for each student.

Students can write about:

• Learning achievements
• Acts of kindness
• Positive character traits
• Friendship qualities
• Overcoming challenges
• Special classroom memories

The completed templates become meaningful keepsakes that help students feel appreciated while strengthening classroom relationships.
