- Ask your kids to write ten things they love about (your family/each other) on a slip of paper and place it in a jar to open on Thanksgiving Day
- Watch a movie about kindness: Trolls, Up, or Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch
- Do a favor for someone, help around the house, or help a friend in need
- Volunteer at or support a nonprofit event in your area
- Write a thank you note to your favorite teacher(s)
- Paint inspirational rocks for your garden, to give away, or to leave in a community setting
