Kindness Challenge
Kindness challenge: Oct 19 to 25, 2026.
Make a small thank-you, such as a paper card, and give it to a grown-up your family already knows.
Kids in Bluefield dressed up and brought candy to shops as a thank-you, instead of only collecting it. A paper card for someone you already know is a safe way to try the same idea.
Three easy ways
At home
Make a paper card at the kitchen table and give it to a grown-up in your home.
In the neighborhood
With a grown-up you live with, thank a neighbor your family already knows. Do not go to a door you do not know.
Printable tracker
Check a box each day you try the challenge. A class can write its total in the tally box.

Kids flip trick-or-treating and hand candy back to their town
Bluefield, West Virginia · Oct 23, 2026

Teacher note
Keep the thank-you inside the group of people the students already know. Read the linked story aloud before the class starts. Do not send children off alone. Do not collect a child's name, age, school, or email.
This page is for an adult to lead. The classroom section has more stories to read aloud.
