Random Acts of Kindness

Kindness is a great quality to own and some people naturally express good will to others.  Some of us are busy with our own lives and kindness never seems to be a top priority.  it's not that we are mean, rather our bussyness takes over and we don't consciously think about showing kindness to other people.  Today we discussed how random acts of kindness are kind actions or words towards others.  They are actions that we don't expect anything in return from.  We do them just to be kind.

What are the benefits?  Well today we performed our first class random act of kindness.  We made kind cards to brighten up each classes day when it was cold and rainy.  Everyone was super excited and came back gleaming at the kindness they had spread.  Both those doing the acts and those receiving them seemed to benefit as equally.

Over the next week (until the end of term) we will be preforming more random acts of kindness both as a class and individually.  Keep an eye out.

Please let us know your thoughts by commenting below.  Room 1 you could comment with how you showed someone kindness today and how it made you feel.

  5. Its like they say a smile is contagious. If you feel good other people feed off that. Similar idea to "pay it forward" and that went global. Small actions can impact the world!! Well done all.
