Halloween is known for its spooky and eerie themes, but did you know it can also be a time of kindness, compassion and community-building? #HappyActs are good habits to practice any time of the year, but this month we have a special challenge to think about giving instead of getting.
Each week during October, we ask all our Happy Activists to participate in our #HalloweenHappyActs campaign by practicing one of our Halloween-themed #HappyActs below. To make it even more fun, challenge your family and friends to participate as well.
When you complete any of the #HalloweenHappyActs, share it on social media (be sure to tag us!) and tag two people who you’re challenging to also do #HalloweenHappyActs. And because no good deed goes unrewarded, we are giving away new Live Happy swag to those who participate and give us a happy tag!
Week 1: Drop Off Halloween Goodies to Your Local Fire Station or Hospital
Drop off Halloween-themed goodies at your local fire stations, hospitals and schools to show appreciation.
Week 2: Create a Compliment Cauldron for Your Office or Classroom
Leave a “Compliment Cauldron” in your office or classroom where people can drop positive notes for each other.
Week 3: Donate Gently Used Costumes
Collect gently used costumes and donate them to your local shelter for families in need.
Week 4: Paint Pumpkins with a Positive Message
Paint or carve pumpkins with uplifting messages and place them around your neighborhood.
Week 5: Leave a Boo Bag for your Neighbor
Secretly leave a small Halloween gift basket at your neighbor’s door with a note saying “You’ve been booed!” and encourage them to pass the kindness along this spooky season.
