I love doing random acts of kindness for others. Even the smallest and most simple things can make someone smile and that is my ultimate goal. I also like doing random acts of kindness when my girls are with me so they can understand that life is about dong for others and not for yourself. I have compiled 15 Random Acts of Kindness that can be done all year long.

15 Random Acts of Kindness

1. Bake someone cookies.
2. Write a ‘thank you’ card to someone that wouldn’t expect it, like your child’s bus driver or the crossing guard.
3. Leave extra change at the water machine, soda or candy machine.
4. Surprise your child’s school crossing guards with gloves and a $5 coffee gift card on a cold day.
5. Mow your neighbor’s yard.
6. Stock up on clearance school supplies and donate them to your child’s school.
7. Go to the Dollar Tree (dollar store) and buy coloring books, crayons, and paper and donate to the children’s advocacy center.
8. Surprise your co-workers with a candy bar, place it on their desk before they arrive along with an inspirational message.
9.  Clip coupons and place them next to the grocery products on the shelf.
10. Purchase a few $5 gift cards or $1 candy boxes and surprise an employee at a fast food establishment when they have provided great service.
11. Go door to door and collect can foods for the local food bank.
12. Call your local animal shelter and set up time for you and your kids to volunteer.
13. Have a garage sale and donate the money earned to a local charity or use it to buy items needed for the Children’s Hospital or Advocacy Center near you.
14. Have pizza delivered to the police or fire department.
15. Gift the community members such as the postal worker, UPS delivery worker, or a trash collecter a thank you card along with a treat.

Random Acts of Kindness are a wonderful way to not only give back to others but are great ways to make people smile. Random Acts of Kindness can be done every day to anyone. It’s a wonderful feeling and something we should teach our kids.
