RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS (RAK) RAK examples from university students in other countries: Donate time at a senior center. Open the door for another person. Have park clean-up parties at area parks. Be a buddy to a new student. As you go about your day, pick up trash. Write a thank you note to a mentor or someone who has influenced your life in a positive way.
IDEAS FOR ENCOURAGING POSITIVE BEHAVIOR • As Individuals • Smile at other students you see in your classes, in the hallway, at lunch, and on the way to the bus. • Start a conversation with a classmate who seems lonely. • Eat lunch with a new student or someone whom you don’t normally talk to. • Write an encouraging note to someone in your class who is having a bad day. • Share your snack at recess.
As a Class • Ask kids to start practicing Random Acts of Kindness but not to tell anyone until the end of the week, when they can share their experiences with the entire class. • Take time out of recess or lunch to wash off graffiti or pick up trash on your playground. One day ask another class to join your efforts. • Surprise another class with cookies, hot chocolate, or treats on a winter day.
Write notes of appreciation to the cafeteria workers, janitors, or other staff members who don’t normally receive recognition. • Form a group of students to help the school staff - in the cafeteria, younger ones can clean lunch trays while older ones can pick up trash, dust classrooms, or patrol the aisles to give the adult monitors a break.
Pledge: • I pledge to myself, on this day, • To try to be kind in every way. • To every person, big and small, • I will help them if they fall. • When I’m kind to myself and others too, • That is the best that I can do!
YOUR HOMEWORK • Throughout this week perform at least 20 RAK and report them one by one on an A4 paper. Submit it to the course instructor at the following lesson.
