Random Acts of Kindness Game: Young Men & Young Women Joint Activity

A service scavenger hunt is a fun joint activity for the young men and women. This random acts of kindness game is a variation of that.

For this activity you will need drivers. Decide how many groups you will need to have so you can have enough cars and supplies. 

We prepared a bag for each car that included supplies and a paper with rules and points. 

Supplies included in the bags were: 

• Sidewalk chalk
• Post-it notes & pens/markers
• Thank you card
• Microwave Popcorn with note
• Shiny pennies
• Tootsie pops with notes

Have a set time for returning to the church. We met at 7:00 to split into groups and had everyone return by 8:10. When everyone gathers back at the church you can have a treat to eat. Have the groups add up their points, show their pictures and talk about what they did.

The Rules:

1. Be genuine in each act of kindness. Remember, this is a race, BUT we are trying to actually make someone’s day, not just get the most points.

2. Be Safe!! Stick together and be smart about your service!

3. Take pictures.

4. You can’t spend any money.

5. Be back by 8:10
