In today’s Leadership Play of the Day from the Ripken Playbook, you will create a helping chain made if random acts of kindness to help you practice helping others.
Helping Chain
Materials
Paper or construction paper
Pen, pencil, or crayons
Stapler, glue, or tape
ScissorsÂ
Instructions
First, write down seven ways you can help others through random acts of kindness (make your answers short enough so that are visible on your links.)
Examples
Taking out your neighbor’s trash
Doing the dishes for your parents after dinner
Make a thank you card for the mailman
Next, cut each strip so you can fold it into a loop.
Using your glue or stapler weave the strips into a chain overlapping each strip of paper into the next loop.Â
Each day as you complete each act of kindness on your chain, rip it off until your chain is completely broken. Â
