Kindness Bingo Printable: 76 Small Acts for Home, School and Work: how it works

Press New set of 4 cards and this kindness bingo printable deals four 5 × 5 cards, no two alike, from 76 small acts: hold a door, leave a kind note to find, roll a neighbor's bins back, give credit out loud. None costs money. You mark a square after you have done it. The free square reads Be kind to yourself.

A week, not a round

This card is played over days. Hand each person a card on Monday and set the goal: a line of five by Friday, with the free center counting. Every card differs, so two people at one table are never chasing the same square. It runs on the honor system. Asking for proof turns a kind act into homework.

When to start one

World Kindness Day is November 13 every year, and in the United States Random Acts of Kindness Day is February 17. Start on either, or on any dull Monday. For a home-only card over a school break, delete the last 18 lines of Word list, one per line, which are the school and work squares, then deal again. For a big group, choose 2 under Cards per printed page to save paper.

Tips

  • For an act of the day, open Call the game at breakfast and press Call the next one once. Everyone with that square tries to mark it by dinner.
  • A square counts only when nobody asked. Holding a door on request is manners. The card is for noticing on your own.
  • Keep marks quiet until Friday, then have each person tell one story: the hardest square, or the best reaction.

Questions and answers

What age is kindness bingo for?

About six and up: every square is a short, plain phrase, and a reader can share a card with a younger child. Squares that involve food say to ask about allergies first, and the older-neighbor square says to bring a grown-up.

How do you win?

Settle the finish line before anyone starts. A line of five suits a week, four corners is a gentle first goal for small children, and blackout, all 24 squares, suits a month. Make any prize a shared one, such as choosing Friday's movie, so it does not become a contest over who is kindest.

Can I change the squares?

Yes. Every line in Word list, one per line can be edited: add a neighbor's name, a pet or a job only your house has, then deal again. Text of the free square takes up to 20 characters. Keep new squares free to do and small enough to finish in a day.

How this list was compiled: Own work: every square was written for this site by the editors on 2026-09-18 and 2026-09-19 as a list of small kind acts a person can finish in a day, and run through the site blocklist; nothing was copied from another kindness card or calendar. Every act is free or nearly free, none asks for money, none sends a child to a stranger alone, and none needs a phone account. Squares that involve food say to ask about allergies first, the litter square says what to leave alone, and the older-neighbor square says to bring a grown-up. Every square is 30 characters or fewer. plan2 asks for home, school and work sets: school and work are one group here, written so that each square reads true in a classroom and in an office, because the bingo widget deals from the whole list and has no group filter. Dates on the page were read live on 2026-09-19: World Kindness Day, an international observance on 13 November introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Kindness_Day ; Random Acts of Kindness Day, February 17 in the United States and September 1 in New Zealand, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_Acts_of_Kindness_Day .
