The smallest act of kindness can make a huge difference, whether it’s a kind word, a thank you or even just a super smile! There are bigger acts of kindness such as volunteering or going shopping for someone who needs your help. Being kind helps us connect with other people, makes them feel good, and helps our own mental health and wellbeing too!
ACTIVITIES FOR YOU TO TRY
Here are three Saturday #BEKIND ideas for you to try during Scottish Children’s Health Week.
ACTIVITY 1 | GOOD MORNING
When our day starts out well, it makes us feel good and sets us up to have a better day. Saying good morning is something most of us do without thinking, but it can mean so much to other people. Say good morning to the first five people you see during the day and why not try asking how they are as well?
ACTIVITY 2 | KINDNESS BINGO
Being kind helps others to feel good, but it can give us a boost too! Try making a kindness bingo card, you could do it alone or with your friends or family. Draw a 3×3 grid with 9 boxes. In each box write things you could do to be kind. This could be things like tidying up, giving a compliment, helping a friend, sharing, letting someone else go first. Why not make it a challenge to complete the full list in a week.
ACTIVITY 3 | TAKE NOTICE
Throughout the day we all do things that are kind or that help others. Try to notice when others do something kind and point it out and say thank you. Learning to take notice of others kindness will help you to notice it in yourself.
