Random Acts of Kindness Cards

Description:
  Around Christmas/finals time, we made "Random Acts of Kindness Cards". It went over really well with the residents. What I did was to cut up a campus directory and give each resident a slip of that directory. Then, they chose a name off of the slip, made a homemade card and signed it "from your friends on Andrews 3" (our building and floor). Then we sent them through campus mail. It cost next to nothing and was a feel good moment for all!!
Supplies:
-construction paper
-markers
-glue
-envelopes
-campus directory (or community phone book)
-old cards
Other considerations:
  This works well if you want to do the community in which your school is based, but it's also fun to send them to other college students! Have fun!
