Happy Home Kit Activities

Key of Honor
This simple activity takes a proactive approach to teaching values. When a child demonstrates a family value such as honesty or courage, light a candle at dinner in their honor and present them with the “Key of Honor” to hand on their bedroom door. Use the back of this Key to record what they’ve done to deserve this honor.

Just You and Me
One-on-One time with family members is so important. Make a date with someone who needs some attention. Whether it’s a movie, a baseball game, or a 10-minute walk to the donut shop, they will love the private time with you.

The Joy Chart
The Joy Chart is a wonderful way to teach your children to find joy in each and everyday. Write your names on the left of the chart and check the boxes each day someone shares 3 good things that happened. Fostering an atmosphere that focuses on the positive will make everyday brighter.

Ten Things I Love About You
Sometimes an unexpected gesture of love can be the most meaningful. Who wouldn’t feel adored if they found this “Love Note” under their pillow, in a lunch box or in their coat pocket? Your list can be sill or serious, that’s up to you! Simply write from your heart and watch as the recipient gleams with joy.

Love By the Month
Use this postcard to start a monthly tradition that will strengthen a long distance relationship. You can even send this postcard in an envelope with tidbits of family life: a photo, artwork, spelling test or an article you think they might enjoy.

My Story
Imagine finding a note written by your great-great grandmother describing the way she felt about life. Fold “My Story” in half to form a card. Take 10 minutes out of your day and write your own story for your loved ones to enjoy.

Conversation Starters
The dinner table is the perfect place to have those meaningful conversations that connect us. Cut out these 6 “Conversation Starters”, put them in a box, draw one at each family dinner and enjoy the wonderful discussion that is sure to follow.
