Show someone you care

Valentine’s Day, which takes place on February 14, is a holiday celebrating love, and its origins may date back more than 1,000 years. 【小题1】 In addition, Random Acts of Kindness Week kicks off on February 11 — another reason to make others feel special! Here are some sweet ways to spread love and kindness this year.

Decorate your home

【小题2】 One idea is to cut paper hearts out of construction paper, make holes in them, and use string to hang them across a mantel or bookcase. Another fun way to decorate is to write messages on paper hearts and put them in unexpected places. Surprise your family with a “Looking good!” heart on the bathroom mirror or an “I love you” heart on a coffee maker.

Start a surprise chain

Here’s a fun tradition to try for delighting others. Pack a goody bag or small box with sweets, stickers, colored pencils, or whatever you have on hand. 【小题3】 Include a note that encourages them to leave a similar goody bag for someone else.

【小题4】

One of the best ways to show a friend or a family member that you care about them is to plan a special outing just for the two of you. For example, you could write a card to your dad inviting him on a hike, or give a card to your best friend suggesting a picnic in the park. You can also do a random act of kindness, like cleaning the mess out of the family car, packing a surprise snack in a brother’s lunchbox, or surprising a grandparent with an unexpected phone call.

Go homemade

There’s a reason why Valentine cards and chocolates are so popular—everyone likes them! Make homemade cards and treats for special people in your life. Check out the Valentine’s global craft and chocolate shake recipe on the web page and try to go homemade. 【小题5】
