George Make-Kindness Bingo!

George Make-Kindness Bingo!

Hey Class! The chapter book I have been reading is George. This book battles topics such as bullying, LGBTQ, identity, gender roles, and kindness. Something that strongly stood out to me from this book was the main character’s best friend Kelly. Kelly embodies the idea of being the change you want to see in the world and how kindness can make someone’s day or life. I believe that as teachers we all hope to make a little change and be positive role models for students. I took the idea of kindness and decided to make a pay it forward graffiti wall, based on the idea by Donalyn Miller.

For this make I created a Pay It Forward Bingo. It goes like this: students will all receive this handout. Once they have completed a mission on the handout they will put the date and a few details of how they achieved the task. Once they are all filled out I will take their picture of them holding their completed filled out bingo board and put it in on the wall. Hopefully it will look like a beautiful wall reflecting the kindness the students have achieved which will create a sense of accomplishment and positive feelings.
