Kindness Bookmarks Challenge
An Excitement-Driven Secret Mission to Spread Joy!
Every child loves a fun bookmark, but these are so much more than placeholders. This printable set turns coloring time into a kindness mission, inviting students to reflect on meaningful messages as they take a mindful moment of creativity.
What makes this activity unforgettable is the secret challenge: once their bookmarks are complete, students sneak off on a covert mission to hide them in the school library for others to discover. It’s a playful way to spread kindness that feels special, a little cheeky, and very rewarding.
Teachers tell us it’s one of those activities kids beg to repeat. It’s a beautiful way to build connection, empathy, and joy in your classroom.
