Random Acts of Kindness for Homeschoolers
Completing random acts of kindness is a great way to remember to put others first, both individually and working together with your family. It is easy, as homeschoolers to skim over these Random Acts of Kindness lists shared so often on social media, thinking, “We are always at home, this isn’t something my family can participate in.” However, even from home, there are many ways to intentionally bless others through random acts of kindness.
Today I’m sharing a list of random acts of kindness for homeschoolers. From activities to bless our own families, to ideas easily completed from home, acts of kindness for neighbors, and even several ideas for typical homeschool outings, you’ll find many ideas to get your family started blessing others.
Print a Random Acts of Kindness Checklist for Homeschoolers, and set a goal with your family. How many random acts of kindness can you complete this week, or this month?
