When we share our time, energy and belongings, it makes us happier. Sharing reminds us how much we have to be grateful for and how easy it is to make a difference in little ways. That's what Share a Square* is all about. Here are a couple of activities that will get your whole family to roll up their sleeves and start sharing!
Get your whole gang together and make it a contest to see who can collect the most clothes and toys to donate to the charity of your choice!
You know that warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you see your child laughing or hard at work colouring a picture? Chances are you aren't the only one who basks in their glow. Share your children's light by volunteering as a family at a retirement home.
Spending time with people of different ages helps kids learn patience and kindness. Most retirement communities have existing volunteer programs, but feel free to come up with suggestions like setting up a lemonade stand and giving out Rice Krispies* Treats that you've baked together. Show your kids that sharing their time with others in need is rewarding and fun.
