Object Lesson for Kindness – The Domino Effect

Here’s a great Object Lesson for Kindness – The Domino Effect. As we raise kids to live with character and concern for others, kindness is a trait that needs to be emphasized.

Kids learn through object lessons and hands-on experience. This character building lesson on kindness provides both.

Object Lesson for Kindness – The Domino Effect

Subject: Kindness

Kindness Bible Verse: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” – Ephesians 4:32

Objective: Kids will see that kindness is contagious.

Ask the Following Question:

1. Can you remember a time when someone was very kind to you?
2. When someone shows kindness, how do you think that impacts other people’s behavior?
3. Have you ever made a domino chain? How does it work?

Build a Domino Chain as an Object Lesson for Kindness

Explain that by doing kind acts we can inspire others to do the same.

The more people are treated with kindness, the more they have it in their hearts to spread that kindness.

We set up the dominoes…believe me it took a while with these kids…and then were able to watch the chain reaction.

I hope you are inspired to start the “Pay it Forward” chain. I hope my kids are inspired too. We need more kindness in this world.
