Random Acts of Kindness Pass Along Cards: Great for Schools and PTSA Groups to Promote Kindness and Unity

 Random Acts of Kindness Pass Along Cards: Kindness Activity for School,

For the past 5 years I have been an advisor to the PTSA student representatives at our local junior high school. With that, each month we try to come up with something fun for the students to do. A few years back we did these RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) pass along cards. We did them both at the junior high school as well as at the junior high school for Unity day. They were a HUGE success!! The kids at both schools loved doing it. It was such a hit that I had advisors from other schools who had heard about it, asking my for the idea and printable.

 A Year of Newsletter Templates: Great for Primary, Relief Society, Young Women and more,

I love newsletters, I think that the more ways you can get information out to people, the better! While serving in our Stake Primary Presidency, I felt it important to have a monthly communication with our Primary Presidents. So, I sent out a monthly newsletter. In this newsletter, we shared a inspiring quote or a quote from the handbook, calendar items for the month, and a message from one of the members of our Stake Primary Presidency.

Say, "Thank You" With These Fun Colorable Cards: Great for School Groups and Church Groups

 Say, "Thank You" With These Fun Colorable Cards,

For the past few years I have been over our PTSA Student Reps at the junior high and high school. Which, means each month I get to help plan activities to help the kids be involved and make their school and community a better place. Basically, to spread goodness. For April, at the junior high we just did an activity that I labeled, Twinkies and Thank Yous. For the activity I made these thank you cards. They really could be used in so many circumstances. Print them off just to have on hand, use them in the class setting, use them for a family activity, for a church activity or for a school group.

Super Fun St. Patrick's Day Coloring Pages

 Super Fun St. Patrick's Day Coloring Pages,

It's so funny, every time I share something related to St. Patrick's Day I get such mixed opinions! So, I'd love to hear, do you do anything for St. Patrick's Day, or do you treat it just like any other day. My hubby is one that never did anything for St. Patrick's Day. My mom always made it magical for us. I remember waking up to little black or green paper footprints that usually led to a treat.

Kindness Bingo A Great Activity for Youth, Families and School Groups

 Kindness Bingo A Great Activity for Youth, Families and School Groups,

I am a firm believer that kindness is contagious, but that kindness has to start somewhere. The other day, one of my friends shared a picture of her son's coat, who someone had put chewed up sticky candy in his hood. Why? Why do things like this happen? We hear too many stories of children and youth, being picked on, left out and even bullied. I know that there is goodness within each of us! There is a light that wants to come out and shine for others. Don't get me wrong, there is also so much good that youth do as well! I am so passionate about inviting our youth and children to focus on kindness and service often!

One thing that I have always believed to be super important is, communication! Newsletters are a great way to keep everyone informed of what is going on, whether it be a ward, a stake, or an organization within either of those. I have learned that a group is more united when the know what is going on. It also gives leadership an opportunity to express their gratitude and provide instruction.

Back to School Handout & Gift Ideas for Young Women or Anyone else too

One thing we love to do is give our young women a little handout to start their new school year out! These would even be fun to give your own kids or grandkids to wish them a great school year.

Back to school Love Notes

Who doesn't like to feel loved??  I remember how special it was when I was little to receive a little "just because I love you" note or gift on my bed.  I was thinking how I haven't really done that very often with my own children, okay well maybe to be honest I don't remember if I ever have.  It's never too late to start. I thought it would be fun to give the, a little something this first week of school.

Here are some ideas as well as some free printables:

Attach this to a bag or box of your favorite "Jolly Rancher" Candy :)

Attach this to your favorite Extreme Candy.

I gave the Jolly Ranchers to them before they left for school and then when they returned home I had some "Air Head Xtremes" for them and a note that I had hand written to each of them.

I also modified my YW Back to School handout, so it could be given by anyone, not just a YW leader :)  Just tape or glue a package of "Extra" Gum into the box and some hugs and kisses chocolate candies into the circles :)
