Children can practise kind words, fair choices and repair after conflict while moving around a simple printable board game. The board is designed around kindness in action, with child-friendly question squares that encourage pupils to talk about what they might do in real situations at school, at home and with friends.
The game includes prompts such as how to welcome a new person, what to do if you disagree with someone, how to say sorry kindly, how to help someone who is sad, how to include someone who has been left out, and how to be kind to yourself after a mistake. It also covers listening skills, compliments, fair sharing, good friendship, helping at home and coping with anger, making it useful for social emotional learning, PSHE, wellbeing lessons and friendship work.
Primary school teachers, teaching assistants, ELSAs, social workers, counsellors and family support practitioners could use it with children in KS1 or lower KS2, either one-to-one, in pairs or in a small group. It would also suit nurture sessions, circle time, restorative conversations, transition work, play-based therapy activities and home learning where adults want to open up gentle conversations about behaviour and relationships.
The board format gives children a clear start and finish, which can make discussion feel less formal than a worksheet. Each square acts as a conversation starter, so adults can extend the answers with follow-up questions, role play, examples from the child’s own life, or links to classroom expectations and family values.
Bright animal illustrations and simple wording make the activity approachable for younger children, while the range of prompts gives enough depth for meaningful discussion about empathy, respect, self-control and positive peer relationships. The printable is credited to Edita Stiborova, 2026.
