Random Acts of Kindness Day

Random Acts of Kindness Day

Have you heard of RAK? RAK is an acronym for Random Acts of Kindness, and this acronym has it’s own day – Random Acts of Kindness Day!

When is Random Acts of Kindness Day?

Did you even know this existed? Random Acts of Kindness Day is February 17th.  Though a newer holiday, this global holiday is growing in popularity.

Celebrated on February 17th, National Random Acts of Kindness Day has grown in popularity each year. It is celebrated by individuals, groups and organizations, nationwide, to encourage acts of kindness. It is a favorite day to many, as people everywhere are enjoying doing these acts of kindness.

Random Acts of Kindness Day Hashtags

In to social media, follow or use some of these RAK hashtags to get in on the trend!

#RAKday #FuellingKindness #BeKind #Kindness #MakeKindnessTheNorm

Follow our Random Acts of Kindness Ideas you can use for birthdays, on February 17th, or 365 days a year!

Birthday Random Acts of Kindness

Hear me out. Random acts of kindness can go beyond February 17th. Pay it forward and try RAK year-round like on your birthday. We shared in our Family Birthday Celebrations ways for kids to spread kindness on a day that is all about them.

Have you heard of 40 Random Acts of Kindness for 40 or 20 Random Acts of Kindness Before 20? Whatever the birthday, spread the same RAK as the year of your age. What an incredible tradition to start with the kids!

Birthday Random Acts of Kindness Ideas

When starting with kids, they don’t have to be challenge. These Kids Random Acts of Kindness ideas start small and can grow with age. They can do it on their birthday, on a RAK holiday, or year around.

  • Give a hug
  • Give a compliment
  • Write a grandparent a letter in the mail
  • Make cookies for a neighbor
  • Pick up trash that isn’t yours
  • Leave tennis balls at the dog park
  • Leave chalk and bubbles at the park
  • Introduce yourself to someone new
  • Bring toys to the homeless shelter
  • Visits the Dollar Store and leave dollars around!

The last idea is our favorite, and because it’s our favorite, we added a free Random Acts of Kindness Printable for the Kids (and adults too!) Leave dollars with note at the Dollar Tree or in the dollar section of Target (etc.)

We, of course, have Random Acts of Kindness Ideas for Adults too!

  • Pay for the drive through order behind you
  • Bring a co-worker an extra cup coffee
  • Give your seat to someone
  • Gas up your spouses car
  • Prepare a meal for an elderly friend or neighbor
  • Send your mom flowers
  • Leave a larger than normal tip
  • Feed someone’s parking meter
  • Donate money anonymously
  • Pass out kindness cards with free compliments.
