62 Acts of Kindness for Kids

Acts of kindness are something that can brighten up anyone’s day. When we perform acts of kindness for others, it makes them feel happy and appreciated. It also makes us feel good about ourselves, because we’re doing something positive for someone else. Performing random acts of kindness is a great way to teach kids how to be generous and caring people. It helps them to develop a strong character, and it makes the world a better place-one act of kindness at a time! If you need help coming up acts of kindness to do with your kids, don’t worry!
