Share small acts of kindness. Kindness Rocks are painted rocks that are decorated with positive and uplifting messages and then placed somewhere in the community for others to find. If you want to do this at home find some rocks, paint them using paint pens, and spray them with a sealer to protect them from the elements over time. Place these little acts of kindness in your garden or amongst the community where other rocks are located.

During this program, teens share some of today’s trendiest TikTok dances, then work together to brainstorm, create, film, and edit 60-second videos. Perfect choreography is not the goal: Just have fun dancing, laughing, and creating together! Note: It’s okay if you don’t want to be in front of the camera, you can help behind the scenes. You can also do this at home with friends and family! Be sure to tag us on Facebook!

Play board games, make a new friend, and enjoy delicious brownies.

Make a keychain or bookmark using small plastic beads. Arrange them on a special pegboard to form a design. Then, using an iron and wax paper, the beads melt together. When they cool off, you have a solid piece of plastic of your design.
