This Fun Kindness Assembly Shows Your Students How 8 Simple Words Can Change Their Whole School
An Interactive Character Education Assembly on Kindness, Empathy & the Power of Words
Designed for Grades K-5
Every school wants a kinder building. But most assemblies on kindness and bullying spend their time telling students what NOT to do.
Don't tease. Don't leave anyone out. Don't stand by and watch.
Those lessons matter. But a list of "don'ts" leaves kids with a question nobody answers: So what SHOULD I do? And young students tune out a lecture long before the speaker gets to the good part.
What if there were a "stealth" way to give your students the answer? One they'd actually remember at lunch, on the bus, and out at recess?
Introducing... "Real Magic Words!"
A 45-Minute Kindness & Empathy-Building School Assembly Program That Keeps Your Students Riveted
Ask any child for the magic word and they'll shout "Please!" School assembly performer John Reid agrees. He just thinks there are seven more.
In this 45-minute interactive magic assembly, your students discover eight "real magic words." Simple words every child already knows, but that have the power to change how other people feel, and what's possible in their own future.
The Real 8 Magic Words!
• HELLO — The word that makes someone feel seen
• PLEASE — The word that shows respect
• THANK YOU — The word that makes someone feel appreciated
• I'M SORRY — The word that starts to fix what went wrong
• I FORGIVE YOU — The word that lets everyone move forward
• I CAN — The word that changes what's possible for YOU
• GREAT JOB — The word that lifts someone else up
• I UNDERSTAND — The word that tells a friend they're not alone
Each word gets its own piece of magic. So your students don't just hear the lesson. They SEE it happen, right in front of them!
A 45-Minute Kindness & Empathy Assembly That Gives Students Something to DO
Here's what makes "Real Magic Words" different. Rather than focusing only on what students shouldn't do, it gives them positive, practical ways to use their own words and actions to make their school a better place.
Using magic, comedy, storytelling, and plenty of audience participation, students and faculty discover how small, simple choices can help everyone feel respected, included, and valued.
And the best part? Kids are fascinated by magic. Magic has never been more popular! By wrapping these lessons inside a magic show, your students learn how much their words matter. And they may not even realize they're learning!
"Real Magic Words" is perfect for the start of the school year, Kindness Week, National Bullying Prevention Month in October, or any time your building could use a fresh start.
5 Reasons Your Students Will Keep Using the Real Magic Words Long After the Assembly
Most assemblies are forgotten by the next morning. That won't happen with "Real Magic Words." Here's why:
1. Every Word Has a Picture – Telling a child "be kind" is easy to forget. Watching something impossible happen when a classmate says "thank you" is not. John ties each word to a piece of magic, so every lesson comes with a memory attached.
2. Students Practice, Not Just Listen – John invites students onstage to help with the magic. And the whole audience gets to say the real magic words out loud, together, again and again. By the end of the show, they've already started using them!
3. Teachers Get a Shared Language – After the show, your staff has a simple, positive shortcut. "Is that a real magic word?" works in the classroom, the hallway, and the cafeteria, all year long.
4. It's Positive, So It Sticks – Nobody gets lectured, and nobody gets made an example of. Students leave the gym feeling good about themselves and the people around them. And that's exactly when a lesson takes hold.
5. Hilarious Fun – Everyone remembers more when they're laughing. That's why John loads his programs with jokes, sight gags, and kid-friendly silliness from start to finish. Students AND teachers will be laughing at John's antics!
