30 Day Random Acts of Kindness Challenge

Last Updated on August 26, 2024 by Alicia Michelle

We all love random acts of kindness, right? What a blessing when someone does a kind deed for us… and when we're able to put our love in action by sharing a kindness with someone else!

About a year and a half ago, we ran a 30 day kindness challenge on the site and it was a hit. I loved hearing your random acts of kindness stories (and seeing my kids step out of their comfort zone in new ways).

And since February 17 is National Random Acts of Kindness Day, we're bringing the 30 Day Random Acts of Kindness challenge back! Join us!

What Is a Random Act of Kindness?

An act of kindness is just that–something unexpected done by one person that blesses someone else. Sometimes these acts of kindness are done anonymously (or not). And sometimes a person personally knows the person receiving the kindness act (and sometimes not)!

No matter what you decide to do, if you're helping someone else, you're performing an act of kindness!

Join Us for an Easy and Fun Kindness Challenge

Ladies, we're all super busy. Totally hear you. I'm want to make this 30 day kindness challenge as simple, fun (and guilt-free) as possible.

We'll have a theme for our acts of kindness each week, and there will be discussion questions and loads of fun ideas and stories!

Every Saturday a new post will go live with the following week's theme and activities.

Week 1 (Feb 1-7): Kindness to Our Family 

Week 2: (Feb 8-14): Kindness to Our Community

Week 3: (Feb 15-21): Kindness to Our World

Week 4: (Feb 22-28): Secret Agent Kindness

Week 5: (Feb 29-Mar 6) Celebrating Kindness in Our Life (and Wrap-Up)

What Are We Doing Each Week in the Kindness Challenge?

Each week, we will post:

—The week’s theme (see above)

—Related acts of kindness activities

—Themed writing, discussion and drawing topics

—Suggested Bible verses to discuss and memorize

—Other helpful resources about sharing kindness

I'll also post what happened when our family did the previous week's challenge: you know, what worked for us (and what didn't), plus cool things we witnessed.

We'll also be hosting a thread each week on the Your Vibrant Family Facebook page where YOU can share about the fun activities your family is doing! 

Also, use the hashtag #YVF30DaysofKindness to share on Twitter and Instagram!

This is a Guilt-Free Kindness Challenge. Really.

Join us for all of it, some of it, or even just one part of it. No problem.

Do the suggested activities, or come up with your own. Seriously, it's all good.

Or, gather up all the activities and celebrate your favorites just on National Random Act of Kindness Day on February 17. Awesome! Knock yourself out.

I’ve tried to make this challenge realistic for those of us with full and busy lives! No pressure and no worries! 

One more thing? Don't feel like you have to “muster” up enough kindness to do this. Pray before you begin this challenge, and regularly throughout it. No matter how hard we “try” to be kind, the Bible says that our good works are worthless if they are not motivated and fueled by God’s love. Let's let God's love flow through us and give us the strength to selflessly serve others!

Who's in?

Get Ready for the 30 Days of Kindness Challenge!

    Thanks 🙂

  11. Whitney! I’m so excited that you’ll be joining us! Thanks for liking the FB page. Check back in on Saturday for the first week’s random acts of kindness challenge!

  12. Great idea! I’ve been wanting to do something like this as well. I liked the Facebook page. Looking forward to reading more! 🙂

  15. Yep! Random acts of kindness aren’t just for strangers… and sometimes the hardest acts of kindness to do are those in our immediately family! And here’s a hint–we’ll be tackling that our first week of the challenge! Stay tuned and I hope you will be able to join us!

  18. Hi Sophie! That’s wonderful! What a great thing to do at work! When we do it around our home it definitely makes a big difference! Hope you can join us when we do the challenge!

  22. Random acts of kindness are something I definitely live by. I have to say, I never do it to receive something in return. It’s so important that we pass on the love to others! Paying it forward every day <3Be blessed!

  24. Love this 🙂 such a lovely read. We’re doing a similar program in my office right now, and have to say it really does make a huge difference to people’s attitudes.

  25. I love the idea of a random acts of kindness challenge. I’m big into RAC. In fact, every week I try to send at least 3 cards unsigned to random people with an uplifting message. It always makes my heart smile and hope it does the same for the recipients.
