Daily Good Deed Cards / Daily Thankful Jar

Source: Printable Good Deeds Cards For Kids Plus Free Colouring

Decorate a container as elaborately or simply as you like, then fill it with good deed cards.
Every day, a child can select a deed from the jar. Keep the tasks simple, especially for younger children. After they complete the good deed, the children can write on the back, something they are grateful for and place the card in the Thankful Jar. After Ramadan, the children can reflect on their cards, good deeds and things to be thankful for.
