Together, come up with simple, age-appropriate ways to serve one another. Examples:

• Make someone’s bed
• Draw a picture for a neighbor
• Let a sibling go first
• Help with dishes
• Say something kind

Write or draw them on sticky notes or directly on the chart.

Challenge each family member to do at least one act of kindness per day during the week. When they do, they can:

• Add a sticker/star next to their name
• Share about it at dinner or bedtime

At the end of the week, thank God for helping your family show love and humility. Ask Him to help you keep putting others first, just like Jesus did.
