Here are some ideas, but you can probably think of a lot more! Leave a treat for someone Write a note to your parents or teacher about why you admire them Call your Grandparents Help your younger brother or sister with their homework Hold the door for someone Do a chore for someone at home Let someone go in front of you in line Wilson, 2015
