Passing Kindness

1. Write each question below on a separate piece of paper. You can also add questions of your own.

2. Wrap one piece of paper around a small shareable treat, like a small bag of chocolate candies or fruit snacks. Tape the paper in place.

3. Add the next paper and tape it down. Keep going until you’ve used all the papers and have a medium-sized ball.

4. Pass the ball around and take turns unwrapping a paper and answering the question. When you get to the end, share the treat!
