SuperKind Spreading Random Acts of Kindness (R.A.O.K) for All Kids

Filed Under: BLOG, Kids Posts, Life in General, parenting, parenting two kids, Sponsored Posts Tagged With: , ,

*I received free SuperKind kits for my kids to facilitate my review, but all opinions below are my own.

Bubbling over with excitement on a recent Friday after school my older girl told me, “I have to tell you something.”

So, of course I listened in with eager anticipation as to what she was about to share.

It was in this moment that she more than happily conveyed that her name was added on a scale to the fish on the school entrance wall.

See the paper fish are in the lobby of her elementary school and the scales represent acts of random kindness that the kids may be caught performing throughout the school year.

Apparently she was awarded a scale for having been respectful and kind to one of her classmates and by the end of the conversation above she simply asked me, “Are you so proud of me?”

Of course, I was and made sure to tell her so.

This warmed my heart, as we just recently had been discussing Random Acts of Kindness and she had even helped me come up the list that you can find here for all kids.

So, I loved that our discussion hadn’t gone without her further internalizing it and continuing on with spreading some more kindness with her classmate at school.

And right after last week’s article all about random acts of kindness and this incident, I was contacted by SuperKind, which is a personalized product aimed at spreading random acts of kindness (“R.A.O.K”) around the world with their goal being to inspire a new generation of SuperKind heroes.  This is a way to keep my kids and all kids accountable for the list list of 20 acts of kindness indeed shared on my blog last week.

But what exactly is SuperKind?

SuperKind spreads kindness and is a set of:

  1. 16 custom kindness cards – The kindness cards are double-sided and the size of a standard 2” x 3.5” business card. On one side of the card, there is an illustration of your child performing a R.A.O.K.  The idea is for your child to perform the illustrated R.A.O.K., and then pass the card on to someone else. On the back side of the card, there are instructions for the recipient of the card to perform a R.A.O.K. within 72 hours of receiving the card.Kindness-Cards
  2. 16 custom stickers – The cards are intended to be passed on to other people, and we don’t think it would be fair for your child to be left with nothing after completing so many acts of kindness.  That’s why we also provide a set of custom stickers featuring the same illustrations that were included on the cards.Stickers-Certifciate
  3. A certificate to affix the stickers – When your child performs a RAOK, he/she can then find the appropriate sticker and affix it to the SuperKind certificate that is also included with the set.   The end result will be a beautiful keepsake for your child.

*The cards and stickers are personalized with your own child’s face and name.  

And wait there is more!!

There is a FREE Digital Version, for those who Share Campaign, because they want all kids to have access to SuperKind cards, regardless of their financial ability. That’s why they are offering a free PDF download of the Kindness cards for anyone who shares their campaign.  Sharing instructions on our Kickstarter Page, where they are also offering free Datevitation book for those who share their Kickstarter via Thunderclap.

Both my girls couldn’t have been more pleased when I showed them the kindness cards and stickers that were personally made for them and were psyched to be able to get to try out more R.A.O.K. as soon as possible.

And for me as her mom, I also couldn’t have been more happy as this is what it is all about, because I am truly a believer in raising both my girls to be kind and caring as much as possible as they are growing up now.

    Janine, I love this idea. But I mainly admire and respect how you are teaching your girls to be kind and giving to others – that is one of the most important gifts you can pass on. You’re doing a fabulous job mom! Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow

    • Janine says

      Aw, thanks so much once again Carrie and I honestly just hope and pray my girls will always be this and kind and caring as they grow up. So, to continue to drive it home really is a major goal of mine for years to come with them now 😉

    What a great program/product. Of course it is a business but it is a business with a good purpose, and I love it. Thanks for sharing and Happy Monday, Janine.

  11. Chris Carter says

    Oh my gosh how CREATIVE this is!! I just love anything that promotes kindness and teaches our children the value of such an important principle! I’m so glad you shared it Janine! Off to share so other parents can see this. 🙂

  14. Tamara says

    Yes!! So proud. At the parent teacher conferences, we heard a lot about math and reading but then Cassidy blurted out.. “But is she kind? Is she happy?”
    Truly more important.
    SuperKind is awesome!

    • Janine says

      Omg, yes you nailed it and we just finished tonight’s addition homework. Seriously, when did 9+8=17, become 8+8+1=17? But all I want to know is if she is happy and kind to all around her still, too!

  17. Aunt Gloria says

    What a great idea! We really need to nurture kindness in ourselves and others…..and so glad you are getting that message to the girls. There is hope for the future! Love to all……..xxoo

    • Janine says

      Aw, if there was I would most certainly pass it along to you! But man to I remember the “Me” and “No” phase really well for both girls and I’d like to say it gets better, but still we do have our moments and yet I still keep trying!

  29. Jen says

    Yes indeed you should be proud of her! How sweet! I love this kit and what a fabulous idea. Thank you for sharing! Here’s to making the world a better place one kit, one act at a time 🙂

  33. Rea says

    That’s a really great idea!! I love that you get to pass them on to others and have a keepsake. I think Reiko should start with the ones he can understand at his age, 🙂

  34. Rosey says

    That’s awesome that she got her name on scale. 🙂 Kindness is a huge thing to applaud. Too bad everyone doesn’t get as excited about it as the kids do. If they did, the world would be a much nicer place, wouldn’t it? 🙂
