N2Y Ext. Kindness Challenge

The Great Kindness Challenge

January 25-29, 2021

The Great Kindness Challenge for 2021 is this week in January and we are going to participate in it.

The teachers will pass out checklists that give you ideas of kind acts. Each student tries to do as many as they can during that week.

You might think of other kind acts you want to do.

You can do kind acts by yourself, with your friends or even with your whole class.

There are several ways you can keep track of kind acts. You can download the kindness app.

Look up in the app store: Great Kindness Challenge

Another way your class can track kind acts in by making a chain.

Add a link to the chain every time you do a kind act.
