Our world is in desperate need of more bucket fillers. Whether we’re parents, caregivers, or educators, it’s our job to be positive role models and to help children work toward peace and kindness.
Free Bucket-Filling Videos for Character Education

“If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.” Mahatma Gandhi

“The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.” Mahatma Gandhi

I have a whole category of character education posts with ideas for encouraging peace and kindness.

An especially helpful character-building and peace-education concept is bucket filling. I love that many schools are now including bucket filling as part of their character-education curriculum. It’s easy to use at home or in the classroom.

Here are some informational and song videos to help you teach and encourage bucket filling.
