Planning a fairness unit and not sure where to start?

This Fairness Activities Bundle gives you a complete, ready-to-use set of lessons, scenarios, worksheets, clip cards, and coloring pages to help young learners explore what fair and unfair really mean in everyday classroom situations.

Fairness is a big idea for little learners, and it shows up constantly.
During sharing time.
On the playground.
When someone shouts, “That’s not fair!” because they didn’t get the first turn.

This bundle helps you turn those real classroom moments into meaningful social-emotional learning that builds empathy, language, and understanding.

Students begin to see that:
• unfairness hurts others
• fairness can be talked about and solved
• fair doesn’t always mean equal

Why Teach Fairness Explicitly?

When children can recognise unfairness, they begin to:
• develop empathy
• use language to describe problems
• understand that unfair actions hurt others
• realise that fair doesn’t always mean equal

These are foundational social-emotional skills that support cooperation, conflict resolution, and positive classroom relationships.
