The Mighty Kind Movement: An Orgamites Teacher Toolbox

Toolkit #3: The Mighty Kind Movement 

“Teaching kids to count is fine, but teaching them what counts is best.” - Bob Talbert

Imagine how much better life would be if we all chose to be kinder... to ourselves, each other and the world we live in with just 5 steps. That’s the vision behind The Mighty Kind Movement. Brought to life by the Orgamites, it’s a growing movement of teachers, students and families who believe that enough small acts of kindness can make the biggest difference. In fact, they can change the world!

Unlike the previous two toolkits, this toolkit is designed for students aged 8-14.

Are you interested in growing kinder, community-minded kids, whilst also connecting more with your kids over some brilliant activities and shared conversations? This educational toolkit has been created to encourage and inspire kids to take better care of one another and the environment too.As part of the ‘Mighty Kind Movement’ — over the course of 5 short lessons, your students will learn all about recycling, upcycling, lifecycling and how to not just do kind things, but be kinder people too.

The end goal

Through fun, educational lessons and challenges, we hope to build an ever-growing, global movement of people committed to bringing more kindness and care into the world. One that:

• Inspires and equips children and their families to reduce, reuse and recycle their waste.
• Catalyzes and promotes more kindness within your classroom and beyond.
• Encourages children and parents to have some all-important conversations about organ donation.

Whether you’re a school principal, educator, healthcare practitioner or parent — we’ve endeavoured to make this topic as fun, lifegiving and informative as possible … all so that families can lead happier, healthier lives, feel equipped to make more informed choices and express those choices to their loved ones when they’re ready to.
