What can you do for your neighbors? How can you be neighborly?
Let’s Build!
What can you build??
Can you retell the story?
I wonder if you have helped someone who was hurt?
I wonder if it is hard to do the right thing?
Can you build a scene of someone needing help?

Skittles Game
Grab a bag of Skittles of just a handful of items in the Skittle colors. Take turns pulling a Skittle out of a bag and then answer the question that matches that color. Take turns with your family sharing- be sure to share those Skittles too! Have fun sharing and brainstorming how to show kindness.

Kindness Rocks
Find materials to paint a special message on a rock. Leave this rock at a neighbors, in a park, in front of your house where others might see it, or look up an address of a church member who might live close to you and make a delivery. Paint/Write a statement about kindness on your rock and see how your message might spread. Check out some examples below or come up with your own.
*No rocks, no problem, feel free to use some sidewalk chalk to spread your message of kindness.
