Week Three, Activity One of the Be Happy Summer Camp: Kind Cards

Did you know being kind is good for your physical and mental health? When you do nice things for others, like helping a friend or sharing your things, it makes you feel happy inside. This happens because your brain gives you special "feel-good" chemicals. These feel-good chemicals not only make you feel happy, but also lower stress and keep your heart healthy!

Being kind also helps you connect with others, make and maintain friendships and feel more confident about yourself. So, every time you're kind, you're not only helping others but making yourself feel great too!
