Summer Serving Badges: 10 Ways Your Kids Can Love Others

Do you want your kids to have a focus on serving this summer?
Try this!

I am always looking for ways to weave serving others into our lives.  It is my desire that my kids would fight selfishness and develop a heart to serve.  And after last summer’s failure, I decided to be intentional and create Summer Serving Badges.

Here is how it is going to work:

Each child will have their own chart and set of badges.  As they complete one of our service tasks, they will cut out the shape and glue it to their Summer Serving Badge chart.

These are the tasks:

1.  Say a Kind Word to a Stranger*.
2. Collect Food for a Local Food Pantry.
3. Send a Card to Someone.
4. Help Someone with Outdoor Work.
5. Bless Someone Who Is Elderly.
6. Raise $___ for ___________ Charity.
7. Do Something Nice for an Animal.
8. Make a Treat to Share with Someone.
9. Donate Clothes or Toys.
10. Bless a Person or Family who is Going through a Difficult Time.

*At their current ages, my kids understand they are fine talking to strangers when I or my husband are present.
