Instructions

Gather everyone in a circle and explain that you’re going to make kindness jars.
Everyone should get their jars ready. Make sure the jar is empty and clean, and remove any labels.
Everyone should decide who they are making a kindness jar for. It could be a family member, friend, teacher, or neighbour. What memories do you share? How do you want them to feel when they open the jar? Be creative with your kindness - you could write a poem or letter or create a picture.
Everyone should fill their kindness jar. Try putting in jokes, pictures, drawings, letters, or anything else you can think of. You should aim to put in things that you can make at Scouts, but you could put in more items at home.
Now, decorate the kindness jar. You could draw pictures to stick on the outside or paint the jars and let them dry.
At home, people could add in some objects they might like, photos of you both together, their favourite snack, or even put in some wrapped homemade biscuits.
