The Kindness Game (NOT just for kids)

I gave this as a gift to a girlfriend's family (of all girls, like mine), but this game can be the "Stellar Sibling Kindness Game" just as easily. I used cookie cutters and craft foam for the stars, stacked three different sizes of stars together with Elmer's and then attached the whole lot to a clothespin. Last, but not least, I put a magnet on the back of the clothespin. Oh, make sure each star has a unique marking so you can distinguish between them.

It’s the Stellar Sister Kindness Game!

We know how you like a little sisterly competition… so here’s a fun game you can play year round. We made you each a star magnet that will hold your “acts of kindness” on the fridge.

When you get caught doing something kind for your sister, she gets to rat you out by writing your kind deed on a 3”x 3” square of paper and tucking it in your star clip. The first sister who has enough “acts of kindness” to cause her star to plop off the fridge… WINS! When you find you need other rules or regulations, have Mom and Dad help you work them out together. You may also want to decide what you get for winning!

Get sneaky and creative with your kindness! Make a bed, set a special breakfast out on a busy day, pick up a room, do a chore that’s hers, paint a picture, give a back massage, carry her stuff, hold a door… you get the picture!

Have fun!

So I wonder what would happen if we all played ever day?
What do you think?
