ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Encouraging Kindness – Parent and Teacher Instructions for “I’m a Little Teapot”
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to talk about something very special—being kind to others. Being kind means being nice and friendly to everyone, whether they’re at school, at home, or playing with us. Let’s have some fun learning about kindness with a story about a teapot, a teacup, and a saucer!
Do you know the song “I’m a Little Teapot”? It’s a fun song about a teapot that tips over and pours tea. But guess what? In our story, there are more characters! We have a teacup and a saucer, too. They all like to play together.
One day, someone new wanted to join the fun. It was Oven! But Teapot wasn’t very nice to Oven at first. Teapot didn’t want Oven to play with them, and that made Oven feel sad.
Teacup saw what happened and decided to help. Teacup talked to Teapot and explained how important it is to be kind and include everyone, even if they are a little different. Teapot listened and learned that being kind makes everyone happy.
In the end, Oven showed everyone that they could make yummy cookies! Everyone was so happy and enjoyed the cookies together. Teapot, Teacup, Saucer, and Oven all became good friends.
This story teaches us that being kind is very important. When we are kind, we make new friends and everyone feels good. So, let’s always try to be kind to everyone we meet!
You can watch this fun story in a video. It’s a great way to remember how important it is to be kind. You can watch it with your family or friends and talk about how you can be kind every day.
Thank you for learning with us! Remember, being kind is cool! Enjoy watching the video and have fun being kind to everyone!
Kindness Jar Activity: Create a “Kindness Jar” at home or in the classroom. Every time you do something kind, write it down on a small piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, read all the kind acts together and celebrate how many nice things you did! This helps you see how being kind can make a big difference.
Role-Playing Game: With your friends or family, act out different scenarios where someone might need kindness. For example, pretend someone is new to the playground and doesn’t have anyone to play with. Practice how you would invite them to join your game. This will help you think about how to be kind in real-life situations.
Kindness Detective: Go on a “Kindness Hunt” around your home or school. Look for acts of kindness happening around you, like someone sharing their toys or helping a friend. Draw or write about what you see in a special “Kindness Detective” notebook. This will help you notice and appreciate kindness in everyday life.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello parents and teachers! When working with kids, we’re always looking for ways to encourage kindness—kindness at school, among siblings, and with friends. At Rock and Learn, we created a video that offers a fun twist on a classic song, “I’m a Little Teapot.”
Our version includes the familiar verse about the teapot, but we also introduce a teacup character and even a saucer. Everything is going well until someone a little different comes along. When Oven wants to join in, Teapot is not happy and acts a bit rude, which hurts Oven’s feelings.
This situation provides a great opportunity to encourage kindness. Teacup steps in to help Teapot understand the importance of including everyone. In the end, Oven shows that everyone has something to offer by making cookies. What a wonderful way to encourage young learners to include everyone!
We hope you enjoy using this video at school and at home. It’s great for launching discussions about being kind to others, even if they are different. Watching it again can serve as a helpful reminder of this important concept when needed.
