110 Acts of Kindness for Children

The world always needs more kindness and these 110 acts of kindness for kids are a great way to encourage children to be kinder than they need to be. We use these every year at Advent and lent and also over the summer.  What I really want to do is instil a kindness mindset in my children and sometimes using a list like 110 Acts of Kindness for Children makes it much easier for the children to choose what they want to do.

I think most of us get caught up in our own lives and the day to day stuff often forgetting that the simplest of things can make the most significant impact on someone else. A smile, a hug or a compliment can really make someone’s day.  Our 110 Acts of Kindness for Children is perfect for using within a classroom or group too and most of the acts of kindness cost nothing or very little.

It is fabulous that our random acts of kindness and good deeds can make someone else’s entire day and that often when we make someone happy they pass that on to other people.  it is great to see that a ripple can make a wave and who doesn’t need a little extra kindness in their lives?

Here are 110 random acts of kindness and good deeds that can help you carry out kindness daily and become an everyday hero.
