Random Acts of Kindness for Kids Printable BINGO Game

How do I get my kids to be kind? For some kids, being kind is easier than for others. The best way to help your kids learn to be kind is for them to see you being kind! Even small acts of kindness, like saying hello to a stranger or holding a door for someone. Your kids learn by example, so if they see you doing these little things, they are more likely to do them!

In the summer months, I try to set aside one day a week to do a good deed for someone else or in our community. In the past, we have served meals at community centers, and helped at a local animal shelter. Right now, since our options are limited to help out in the community (with many community volunteer opportunities limited with social distancing), we will focus more on helping at home and with our family and friends.

Download this Random Acts of Kindness Bingo Game and let each of the kids work on a BINGO card. When everyone gets a BINGO in the family, have a fun treat like a trip for ice cream or a family movie night! You can also use the Blank Kindness Bingo Card to make your own activities!
