Teach compassion with TeachKind’s FREE program kit.

The Share the World kit is perfect for helping elementary school students develop social-emotional skills as well as teaching them about the Golden Rule and the importance of compassion and empathy.

What Is Share the World?

TeachKind’s new Share the World program kit is FREE to all teachers—but the lesson is invaluable. Using fun analogies, easy-to-understand values, cute and inspiring animal videos, and true stories of animals who overcame adversity, Share the World teaches students how similar we are to all the animals, large and small, with whom we share the world.

This all-inclusive pack has everything that a teacher needs to implement lessons on empathy, kindness, and compassion in an accessible and fun way and can be used to meet Common Core standards. Our kindness lessons are also great for homeschooling and social-emotional learning!

“I just wanted to thank you for the Share the World unit and for the lesson resources available for teachers. I am an elementary school teacher, and my students loved the Share the World unit. I am going to do the “Woody: A Survivor’s Story” lesson next. It is so important for us educators to teach our students how important it is to protect animals and be a voice for them. Please continue to send me lessons like these. I believe they truly do make a difference.”

—Natasha Vangor (Elementary Teacher, New York)

What's in the Kit?

The kit is a one-stop interdisciplinary program that includes a 23-minute video featuring inspiring animal stories, amazing facts, easy-to-understand analogies that help students take the point of view of someone else, and age-appropriate information on the Golden Rule and how kids can save animals!

“Share the World is an amazing program that supports educators through valuable humane education activities and resources that inspire tolerance, empathy, responsibility, and reverence toward all animals and provides springboards for classroom discussions about compassionate behavior. Through this program, educators are able to create a classroom environment that teaches compassion and builds kinder communities.”

—Magaly Madrid (Elementary Teacher, Florida)

Watch 'Share the World'

A Spanish version of the video is available online here, and subtitled versions of both the English and Spanish videos are available in the kit. Great for bilingual (English/Spanish) classrooms!

“I was able to integrate Share the World during a science … unit [in which] students were learning about animals. The kids were super-excited to see the video with animals, and it led to awesome discussions in our classroom. I would highly recommend sharing this video and the lessons—not only to supplement science lessons and have valuable discussions but [also] to help teach students about kindness and the Golden Rule. Great resources!”

—Melissa Phillips (Elementary Teacher, Virginia)
