LAUNCHING THE WEEK: 'This is Random Acts of Kindness Week! Your mission is to do as many kind things as you can—without being asked! Secret kindness is the BEST kindness!'
PROVIDING MISSION CARDS: Give daily missions: 'Today's mission: say something kind to someone you don't usually play with.' 'Today's mission: help someone who is struggling.'
RECORDING KINDNESS: 'Write or draw your kind act in your kindness diary! What did you do? How did the other person react? How did it make YOU feel?'
CELEBRATING IMPACT: 'This week, our class did 47 random acts of kindness! We made people smile 47 times! That's AMAZING! Kindness spreads—when you're kind, other people are kind too!'
