Why teach kindness? There have been numerous studies which demonstrate the positive effects of kindness on health and well-being. The kindness giver, receiver and even those observing the kind act immediately experience an increase in happiness, a blissful sense of euphoria, increase in energy, more optimism and a general feeling of being healthy. Children who learn about compassion, respect, empathy and how to express acts of kindness in both words and actions, can have a positive impact on the world they live in. It is proven that young children raised to understand the value of kindness are less likely to bully or even become violent. Remember you can make a difference each time you brighten someone's life through small efforts like a smile, kind word, saying thank you or showing you care.

It's what we all should do. Refrain: It's only holding hands but it means so much. We're filling buckets with just a simple touch. Let's be bucket fillers. That's what we all should be. Our bucket is invisible. It's really make-believe. But there's no doubt in what a kind act can do. It makes someone feel good, then comes right back to you. Chorus: When we're kind, we fill our bucket. When we're nice, we fill yours too. When we help, we fill our bucket. When we smile, we fill yours too. Keep holding hands and sway from side to side. We feel much better now, and we know why. Refrain: It's only holding hands but it means so much. We're filling buckets with just a simple touch. Let's be bucket fillers. That's what we all should be. Our bucket is invisible. It's really make-believe. But there's no doubt in what a kind act can do. It makes someone feel good, then comes right back to you. Chorus: When we're kind, we fill our bucket. When we're nice, we fill yours too. When we help, we fill our bucket. When we smile, we fill yours too. Keep holding hands and standing straight and tall. Bring your hands up real high and don't let go at all. Refrain: It's only holding hands but it means so much. We're filling buckets with just a simple touch. Let's be bucket fillers. That's what we all should be. Our bucket is invisible. It's really make-believe. But there's no doubt in what a kind act can do. It makes someone feel good, then comes right back to you.

Let's celebrate filling our buckets today. When you wake up tomorrow to start your day, Refill your bucket with all you do and say. Chorus: When we're kind, we fill our bucket. When we're nice, we fill yours too. When we help, we fill our bucket. When we smile, we fill yours too. Chorus: When we're kind, we fill our bucket. When we're nice, we fill yours too.
