Hey there, REK families!

This week, we’re inviting you and your child on a global adventure—without leaving home.

🎒 The Great Global Kindness Quest is a printable experience that takes kids around the world through simple, meaningful challenges that build social intelligence—like empathy, generosity, and listening.

At each “stop,” they complete a Kindness Quest inspired by how different cultures express care and connection. (In Japan, they might make an origami thank you note . In Mexico, they’ll listen to a grandparent’s story. In Brazil, they dance with joy.)

Use it however fits your summer rhythm:

Try the One-Week Bingo Challenge (3 countries = 1 row = win!)

Make it a Tiny Habit—one quest a day after breakfast

Host a Global Explorer Day with friends or neighbors

Teach it as a fun mini-camp if you’re an educator

This printable activity is proudly sponsored by our friends at Dunhill Travel Deals, a family-focused travel agency helping you make the most of summer.

As your child looks ahead to new grades, friendships, or challenges this fall, social intelligence is what helps them feel ready—how they listen, include, and connect. Just one Kindness Quest can spark the courage to try something new.

If you’re looking for a live, guided way to keep that momentum going, check out Camp Supernova—our virtual summer program where kids ages 6-12 build a real business, grow their Hero Intelligence, and connect with others around the world.
