Kids do many kind things that go unrecognized. Setting aside time to emphasize those things can lead to more kindnesses. Introduce to students a form on which they can submit the name of a student and a kind act that the student did in class, in the lunchroom, on the bus, or on the playground.
Each week, draw two of the random acts of kindness submissions from the kindness bowl and recognize those students in a special way. A certificate is a great reward; a token prize just adds to the honor. Post the certificate in the hallway outside your classroom, and watch how many kindnesses start to be done and nominated.
