Random Act of Kindness Generator
Random small act of kindness to try today.
Small good deeds are easier when you don't have to think one up. This generator draws from 88 acts of kindness — 22 each for school, family, community, and strangers — so a teacher can run a classroom kindness challenge, a family can pick a nightly deed, or a club can plan Random Acts of Kindness Day. No-repeat mode keeps daily draws fresh until the whole pool is used.

Frequently asked questions
Who are the four categories aimed at?
School ideas suit students and teachers, family ideas work at home, community ideas involve your neighborhood, and strangers ideas are small public gestures like paying for the next person's coffee.
Can a class run a month-long kindness challenge with this?
Yes. With no-repeats on, the tool remembers every idea already drawn and won't repeat one until all 22 in the category — or all 88 overall — have been used.
Is this the same as the conversation starter tool?
No. The conversation starter deals out questions to talk about; this one suggests actions to do. They pair well in a morning meeting — one question, one kind act.
Can I keep a record of the acts we've done?
Yes. The history block lists your recent draws, and every result can be copied as text or downloaded as a CSV that includes the idea and its category.
Are some kindness ideas more likely than others?
No. Within your chosen category every act has an equal chance, because picks use the browser's Web Crypto API rather than any weighted list.
