The Random Acts of Kindness Conversation Sparker worksheet is a fun and interactive activity designed to help kids, parents, and teachers talk about the importance of kindness and how simple, thoughtful actions can make a big difference. This worksheet encourages kids to think about how small acts, like sharing, helping, or saying something kind that can brighten someone’s day and make the world a better place.
The Random Acts of Kindness worksheet prompts kids to explore the various ways in which they can incorporate kindness into their daily routines – whether it’s a simple compliment, an unexpected gesture, or a helping hand during challenging times. The worksheet includes prompts that encourage kids to think about their personal experiences with kindness, as well as how they can pay it forward to others.
By sparking conversations about kindness, this worksheet helps cultivate a positive and inclusive environment where empathy and connection are at the forefront. It empowers kids to develop a deeper understanding of how their actions can foster goodwill and support, and it encourages them to create lasting, positive relationships with those around them.
How to Make Your Random Acts of Kindness Conversation Sparker
1. Fold Diagonally:
- Fold the paper in half diagonally to form a triangle.
- Unfold it, then fold it diagonally in the opposite direction.
- When unfolded, your paper will have two diagonal creases intersecting at the centre.
2. Bring Corners to the Centre:
- Lay the paper flat.
- Fold each corner inward so they meet at the centre point (the intersection of the diagonal creases).
- You’ll now have a smaller square.
3. Flip and Repeat:
- Turn the paper over so the folded flaps face downward.
- Once again, fold each corner toward the centre point.
- You’ll create an even smaller square.
4. Prepare for Movement:
- Fold the smaller square in half horizontally, then unfold it.
- Next, fold it in half vertically, and unfold it again.
- These creases will make the fortune teller easier to open and close.
5. Create the Finger Pockets:
- Position the paper with the folded flaps facing upward.
- Carefully lift the paper and slip your fingers underneath the four flaps (pockets) on the back.
- Gently pinch the edges together to form a 3D shape.
6. Ready to Use:
- Adjust the shape by placing your fingers into the pockets.
- Move the flaps back and forth by pinching and pulling with your fingers.
- Your Random Acts of Kindness fortune teller is now ready to spark conversations and inspire good deeds!
Here's How to Use the Conversation Sparker:
1. Invite the Person to Choose a Colour: Ask the person you’re playing with to select one heart colour.
2. Spell Out the Colour: Once they’ve made their choice, spell out the colour together, revealing each letter slowly.
3. Use the Letters to Reveal Numbers: After spelling out the colour, associate each letter with a number (e.g., A=1, B=2, etc.). Then, invite the person to calculate the total sum of the numbers corresponding to the letters.
4. Spark a Thoughtful Conversation: Once the number is revealed, ask them the question written and let the other person answer.
