15 Child-Oriented Suggestions for Generosity Day on Do1Give Day
Do1Give Day, an annual event, is a celebration of giving and kindness, inviting people worldwide, especially children, to participate in acts of generosity within their communities. The day, which began in Canada with youth leaders, promotes thoughtful actions that uplift others, whether through donating time, skills, or resources[1].
The spirit of Do1Give Day is embodied in simple, fun, and meaningful activities designed for kids. Writing gratitude messages, creating art with a purpose, making something to share, and helping others nearby are just a few examples[1][2]. For instance, filling a small envelope or pouch with a thoughtful note, drawing, or message of encouragement and leaving it anonymously for a classmate can turn someone's entire day around.
Kids can also contribute to the environment by working with adults to plant wildflowers that support bees, butterflies, and birds, teaching them the importance of giving to nature[1]. Engaging with elders in the family or community and learning about their past acts of giving can provide valuable insights and wisdom[1].
The website associated with Do1Give Day encourages daily giving for a year, aiming to make giving a culture in homes, schools, and workplaces[1]. The global movement has inspired numerous ideas, such as challenging friends to put away screens during recess, taping up a gratitude wall, creating a video explaining what giving means, and gathering items like winter coats, gloves, or canned food for the wider community[1][2].
Inviting friends to join in the day's activities and making a giving challenge at school, creating a giving wall where everyone shares their good deeds, or trying one small act of giving can strengthen friendships and spread smiles everywhere[2].
Do1Give Day was founded by Jacqueline Way, a mother who wanted to raise her 3-year-old son to be happy, kind, and compassionate[1]. Today, the movement continues to inspire children, classrooms, families, and individuals around the world to build a habit of giving.
