Secret Kindness Club Quotes for Kids

Inside: Kind, encouraging, and motivating quotes for kids and adults alike

Happy Girls Secret Kindness Club Quotes for Kids by Raising Bliss

Last year my elementary school kids participated in an entrepreneurial event at school.  Their task was to come up with a product or service they could sell.  One of my boys decided to make bookmarks.  But they weren’t just any bookmarks.  They had kind, motivational, and inspirational phrases on them.  Some of these bookmarks are still used in books and planners.  What a great feeling it is to have made a lasting impact, if only a small one, on someone else’s world.

And then my boys and I had an idea.  What if we do it again?  But this time, it can be in a secret form.  They could spread kind messages all through their school using notes with kind, motivating words.

Kind people are the best kind of people

We put our heads together and called this new kindness project the Secret Kindness Club.

The idea is to write kind, motivational, or inspirational quotes and phrases on note cards or index cards and spread them around everywhere kids go.

This world needs more good will.  This can be done by acts of kindness, paying it forward, and volunteering.  But there are also words.  Words are powerful.  Words matter.  Let’s use them for kindness.

Here are some motivational and inspirational quotes your kids can use to start their own Secret Kindness Club.
