Why do hummingbirds hum?
Because they don’t know the words to the song.

Winter Bingo
Winter Bingo
Time:45 min
Difficulty:Medium
Do you spend more time inside when the weather gets colder? Most of us do, but there’s a winter wonderland out there full of fun activities to try! Why not play winter bingo to get back outside?
Objective: Try to fill 5 squares in a row (across, up/down, or diagonal) to win a bingo!
Players: 1 or more
Here’s what you need:
- A notebook or paper to write down your Bingo squarel
- Something to write with like a pencil, pen, or marker
- Your favourite outdoor space
- Friends or family to join you
Here’s how you play it:
Step 1:
Make your way to your favourite outdoor space. It could be your local park, a walking trail, a mountain resort, a beach, or even your backyard!
Step 2:
Look over the Bingo square. You can save or screenshot this to your phone, or write the words down on a piece of paper.
Step 3:
Start exploring and looking around! Take note of what you see and be sure to check your bingo sheet. Do it by yourself, work as a team, or challenge a friend to see who can get BINGO first!
How did you do? Were you the first to get BINGO? If so, what 5 items did you find?

Kindness Rocks
Kindness Rocks
Time:20 min
Difficulty:Easy
Kindness rocks are special. They’re a joyful gift, a special treasure, a secret surprise, but they all have the same goal: to bring joy and hope to those who find them. It’s time to be kind!
Here’s what you need:
- Rocks
- Acrylic paint (as many colours as you want)
- A paint dish
- A marker
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1: Pour some paint into your paint dish. You can either mix several colors or use just one.
Step 2: Paint your rocks! You can create fun patterns, and add pretty drawings or decorations.
Step 3: With your marker, write some sweet and encouraging messages! Remember: Be kind!
Some ideas: “Find your hope”, “Don’t forget what’s good”, “You matter”, “Believe in yourself, you can do anything!”, “Laughter is key to life”, “Follow your heart”, “You are loved”, “Every moment matters”, “You don’t have to be perfect, be yourself”, “You are strong”, “You got this!” or “Just breathe”
Step 4: Repeat the above steps with as many rocks as you’d like! Are you planning to give some to someone special, or hide them for a stranger to find? Make as many as you might need for this.
Step 5: Once done, it’s time to hide your kindness rocks! If you plan them to be for friends/family, put them somewhere in their house for them to find. If you want to make others’ days a little brighter you can go out into your neighborhood, and drop them off somewhere for people to discover!
TIP:
Kindness rocks are supposed to be nice, but remember that not all places allow them! Check your local parks and trails if you’re allowed, and do not place them in national parks where they’ll disturb wildlife. Ask your zoos, schools, and community centers if kindness rocks are permitted. Who knows? If they say yes, you might make someone’s sad day much happier!
Kindness is important! Spread love and joy by being kind to others.

Step 1: Ask a grown-up to help melt the chocolate chips.
