Oxford Children’s Word of the Year 2024 announced as ‘Kindness’

Words: Oxford University Press(OUP) announces their Oxford Children’s Word of the Year for 2024 as Kindness, with 61% of children surveyed. OUP’s research, which surveyed over 6,000 children aged 6-14 across the UK, showed that mental health was a reason for some children selecting kindness, as well as the ongoing global conflicts. Several children mentioned learning about kindness at school or at home (e.g. Kindness is one of my school values, and it is our family word), while others noted: At the moment, with all the conflict and the issues the world faces, kindness is a good way to go.

Artificial intelligence was voted runner-up by a quarter of children, with most of them saying that it made them feel ‘optimistic’ and ‘excited’. Meanwhile, one in four children chose slay as their favourite slang word, with sigma and skibidi as runners-up – highlighting how the internet & social media continue to shape Gen Alpha’s vocabulary. The Children’s Language Department at OUP has published the Oxford Children’s Word of the Year 2024 report, which will be available on launch day here.
