You need

Nothing! Just you.

Steps

  1. 1. Put on your detective eyes. Who needs a little help?
  2. 2. Find one kind thing to do: fetch a cup, hold a door, share a toy.
  3. 3. Do it! See how the person feels.
  4. 4. Can you find two more?

⚠ Safety · Stay nearby

Helping jobs are safe ones: no hot drinks, no knives.

Stop if:

  • Nobody needs help right now — help teddy instead

Easier

The grown-up suggests one kind thing.

Harder

Do a kind thing secretly, then see if they notice.

Only 5 minutes?

One kind thing.

Why it matters: Noticing what others need is a big part of making friends.

Clean-up: Nothing to tidy.
