Directions

  • Take classic camp pranks and put a kindness spin on them!
    • Ex- the classic “spoon” prank (putting a lot of spoons in someone’s bed, cubby, or area), consider writing encouraging messages on the spoons first!
  • What other adaptations to typical “pranks” can you do to spread kindness and joy? Prompt campers to think about random acts of kindness or other silly ways to spread kindness.
  • What is a random act of kindness you can do to start to fix the world?
    • Ex- give another group/bunk a random standing ovation, clean up a table for another group/bunk, write thank you notes to the bus driver, kitchen staff, maintenance staff or anyone else at camp.
