Today we had a brief recap of our experiences over the holidays, and the ways that we were able to be present with our friends and family. Afterwards we discussed how easy it is to be kind by simply saying hello, or recognizing and thanking the people around us for the little things that they may do for us. We then talked about showing kindness to those who least expect it.
We had the kids make a sun catcher to give away to someone in the community as a random act of kindness. Each sun catcher was put into an envelope with a cheerful message on the front. While kids were taking turns beginning the craft, the remaining kids divided into groups to brainstorm who they may be able to give their sun catchers to. Some ideas included neighbors, coaches, grocery store clerks, walking guards and an elderly person in their life. We emphasized that the only rule is that they have a parent help them decide who to give it to.
