Writing Prompt: How Have You Shown Kindness Towards Others?
After watching one of Kid Governor Elena’s videos, follow one of her suggestions! On a piece of paper or in a Google/Microsoft Word Document, reflect on the act of kindness you completed. Write a short paragraph about what you did, why you chose that act of kindness, and how it made you feel.
Share it with a friend, a loved one, or your teacher. When they read about your act of kindness and how it made you feel they may be inspired to get involved too! Share your responses with us and we can post your message on social media to inspire our followers across the state of Connecticut. Email your reflection to info@KidGovernor.org.
