Free digital Kindness pack 

Download your 11 page kindness pack to help children ages 5-14 learn about the power of kindness. The pack can be printed off and can help support with home-learning.

The pack encourages children to do small acts of kindness each day to help their community, family and themselves. Kindness can help us to cope with challenges and change.

The free pack includes: 

• A kindness calendar: help children think about the importance of kindness and how small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Use the blank postcard to encourage children to create a message of kindness for someone they know. 
• Creative activities: colouring is a great way to be kind to yourself and helps children to focus and relax. 
• Coping strategies: use activities like breathing with colour and 'What is wellbeing?' to think of ways children and young people can be kind to themselves. 
• An emotion tracker to help keep track of emotions and feelings as we all go through so much change and stress. 
• Activities to help us stay connected with other. Children will think about and understand other people’s feelings and explore how change can affect us. 
• The final activity encourages children to learn a new skill, first aid. Use the activities to learn some simple and easy to first aid and reflect on how learning new skills can make you feel.

A range of free digital sessions 

We have a variety of digital sessions for learners in the classroom, youth groups and those learning from home, to suit learners aged between 10-19.

All of our digital sessions can be run for a group online via a platform like Zoom or Teams or for an entire group meeting physically whereby a Red Cross educator can be streamed to the front of the group.

First Aid

A digital workshop where you will learn essential first aid skills. We will introduce you to the work that we do in the UK, help you to build the confidence and willingness to help someone in an emergency, using everyday objects that you have around you. We also show you where to get support if you have an injury or illness.

Empathy and Migration

A digital workshop to learn more about the people in your community. We’ll look at the different reasons people leave home, help you to develop empathy about migrants' motives for moving and understand the obstacles they face in their new homes. We can help you to challenge assumptions about migrants, asylum seekers and refugees as well as develop mutual respect and understanding of your community by using stories to build empathy.

Back to better

In March 2020, we were told stay home, and life as we knew it changed. This had a significant impact on all of us, particularly young people. This workshop takes young people on a journey of reflection - thinking on the things that have happened, how we coped and how can we prepare for the future.

Tackling loneliness

Anyone can experience feelings of loneliness, especially now. This workshop teaches young people what loneliness means and explores how loneliness can be experienced even in a crowded room. We encourage learners to use creative activities, such as telling or writing stories, to overcome loneliness in themselves as well as reaching out to others who might be feeling lonely. The young people will explore strategies to reduce loneliness, including talking to a trusted adult of friend, or joining clubs to increase and strengthen friendships.
