 Brighten a
Neighbor’s Day!
Look at the list of categories below. Draw a picture and/or write a kind note to go with each one.
As you go on your walk around the neighborhood, choose which neighbor to give your special note or
picture to. You may not even know who they are – that’s ok! Leave it in a neighbor’s mailbox or
newspaper slot. When they find it, it will be sure to brighten their day!

Category Possible Addresses My Choice

favorite wreath

prettiest flowers
best sidewalk chalk
drawing
most inviting porch

fun lawn ornaments

favorite holiday
decorations
best flag

best porch sign

loveliest landscaping

Maybe choose one of these each

day to do, or let each family
member choose a different
category to focus on.
