Do Good, Be Good
Connect 4
Good actions are like a game of Connect 4. One kind act joins another, and soon you have a whole line of kindness!
Did you know?
World Kindness Day is on 13 November. People everywhere try to do extra kind things that day.
Meerkats take turns being guards. One stands up tall and watches for danger while the others eat.
In one study, rats freed a trapped friend from a little cage. They even left some chocolate for their friend!
Try this: Kindness Connect 4
Draw a grid of 16 circles, with 4 rows of 4. In each circle, write a kind act, like 'share my colours'. Each time you do one, colour that circle green. Can you get four green circles in a row? Try across, down or corner to corner. Then make a new card!

At the 2016 Olympics in Rio, two runners fell during a race. They were Nikki Hamblin from New Zealand and Abbey D'Agostino from the USA. They did not just run on. They helped each other get up and finish the race! Later, they won a special Fair Play Award. Sometimes being kind matters more than winning.
