#TheGoodViral
- A campaign of resilience for kids during Covid-19 -
THE ORIGINAL CHALLENGE
Kids around the world are facing challenges of resilience, including those related to Covid-19. This has impacted kids in many different ways. Many are missing the structure of school, as well as their connection to classmates and caring adults.
Sharing a message of hope can really help with the mental health of kids (and can feel really good). And that's where you come in...
WHAT CAN YOU SAY?
A hopeful video message can go far (around the world even). Something like:
- Introduce yourself and say something about yourself...
- Relate to being stuck inside…
- Send your strategies to stay healthy - mentally, physically and emotionally…
- Encourage kids to do the things that make them happy...
- Recommend they try something new...
- Remind them to (virtually) connect with their friends and family as often as needed...
- Suggest they offer to help out around the house or perform an act of kindness...
- Tell them to reach out to kids who don't have many connections or friends...
- Blow a kiss at the end, BUT DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE when doing it! (that's #TheGoodViral signature)
- Post to Social Media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) and use the hashtag #TheGoodViral
- Ask your friends and family to share with kids and follow
Step 1
Record a short message of hope that can apply to kids anywhere in the world. You can end the video by blowing an air kiss.
Step 2
Upload your video to social media with the hashtag #TheGoodViral, and nominate your friends and followers to share their own messages of hope.
Step 3
Forward your message to any parents or teachers you know so they can share it, especially with younger kids who don't have access to social media.
