Random Acts of Kindness Ideas
and Printable RAK CARDS
February 17 is Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Day. Although kindness should be shown each and every day, RAK Day is a yearly reminder to celebrate showing kindness to one another.
Smiling at people, holding the door open for someone, or paying for a stranger's coffee may seem like pretty simple acts. It is likely many of us do them often, but there are days that life just grabs a hold of us and we're so lost in our own thoughts and problems that we unintentionally ignore what is happening around us.
Today I challenge you to pick a couple of things on the list below (or come up with your own) and ACT on them.
Download and print our RAK cards on cardstock paper, cut them out, and hand them out to those you share kindness with to encourage them to pass it on.
Be friendly, spread love, inspire kindness- not just today, but every day.
