“All you need is love”…and kindness. February is the perfect month to show others you care about them by doing small acts of kindness. What better way to keep track of all those little deeds than our FREE Printable 100 Acts of Kindness Poster. Get the kids involved and see how many your ohana can complete by Valentine’s Day. Or even better, extend it all the way to the end of the month!
We print these giant 24×36″ posters as engineer prints at our local print shop for only $3! Just make sure to tell your local shop to print it as a black and white engineer print and it should cost about the same price.
Teaching kids to serve doesn’t need to be a lot of work or take a lot of time. Some of the service ideas for kids are super easy and take no preparation at all. The important thing is to teach and model service to your kids and make it a family affair. We love doing random acts of kindness all year long! We’ve compiled 100 ideas for acts of kindness for kids that you can do together as a family.
Read through the list below and have fun planning ways your family can serve this month. We also have a printable list for you to reference. Print off our RAOK (random act of kindness) for kids list below.
