Compliment Cards Coloring Pages

Compliment Cards Coloring Pages are a fun way for Cub Scouts to show kindness. These cards let Scouts color their own compliments to share with others. This simple activity fits well into Scouting because it encourages positive values like kindness and friendship. Scouts can give these cards to classmates, family, or anyone they want to cheer up.

This activity supports the Cub Scout program’s goal of building character. Making and sharing compliment cards teaches Scouts to notice and appreciate others. It’s a creative way to help them learn the importance of being kind and thoughtful. By creating something personal, they practice good citizenship and develop empathy.

The cards are easy to use. Scouts color them, cut them out, and decide who to give them to. They can hand them directly to someone or leave them in a place where the person will find it later, like on a teacher’s desk or in a friend’s book. This lets Scouts make their own choices about how to share kindness.

These Compliment Cards are also a good way for Scouts to work together. They can make the cards in groups, sharing ideas and encouraging each other. This simple activity supports teamwork and helps build a positive atmosphere in the den.

1. Download and Print – Download the printable template of the compliment cards. Print as many copies as you need. Each sheet has eight different compliments.
2. Color the Cards – Let the Cub Scouts color each card. They can use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to make each card unique and special.
3. Cut Out the Cards – After coloring, cut out each card along the dotted lines. Make sure to have scissors available and remind Scouts to be careful.
4. Share the Compliments – Scouts can give their finished cards to others. They can hand them directly to someone they want to compliment or leave them somewhere as a surprise, like on a desk, in a locker, or in a lunchbox.

Variations and Additional Ideas

• Personalize Messages – Scouts can write their own thoughts on the back of the cards. This makes each card even more personal.
• Group Activity – Make it a group project by having Scouts create cards for each other in the den. Each Scout can color a card and then give it to another Scout in the group.
• Theme Coloring – Use different colors to match special days, like red and green for winter holidays or blue and yellow for Scouting events.
• Add Small Stickers or Decorations – Allow Scouts to add stickers or small decorations after coloring for an extra touch.

Notes:

• Remind Scouts to think about who might appreciate a compliment card. They can be thoughtful about choosing who to share with.
• This activity works well as a service project, encouraging Scouts to think about kindness and how small gestures can make a big difference.

This activity teaches Cub Scouts kindness. By making and giving compliment cards, they learn how to lift others up. They see that small, thoughtful actions can make a big impact on someone’s day. This is a simple way to teach them that kindness doesn’t have to be big or complicated.

Scouts also practice gratitude. When they think about what to say on each card, they focus on good things about others. This helps them recognize what they appreciate in their friends, family, and classmates. This habit of noticing good things about others can help them feel more grateful in everyday life.

Giving out cards also builds confidence. It can be scary for some kids to speak up and share a compliment. By handing out these cards, they get to practice sharing kind words in a way that feels safe. This boosts their confidence in showing kindness, even if they’re usually shy or unsure.

Lastly, this activity helps them develop empathy. When they decide who to give a card to, they learn to think about how others feel. They learn that kind words can make someone feel happy and valued. This skill of understanding others is a big part of being a good friend and a good citizen.

The Compliment Cards activity fits well with several core values in Scouting. It supports the Scout Law, which teaches Scouts to be kind, helpful, and friendly. By making these cards, Scouts practice these values. They are learning to notice and appreciate others in a thoughtful way.

This activity also encourages good citizenship. Part of being a good citizen is caring about others in your community. Scouts who give compliments to friends, family, or classmates are practicing this. They are learning that simple acts of kindness can strengthen a group, whether that’s their den, school, or family.

Respect is another Scouting value this activity supports. By thinking about what to say on each card, Scouts learn to respect the good qualities in others. They might notice how a friend is always willing to help or how a teacher is patient. This builds respect and shows Scouts that everyone has qualities worth appreciating.

Finally, this activity ties into the Scouting value of cheerful service. Giving someone a compliment card is a small act of service, but it can make a big difference to the person receiving it. Scouts are learning that service doesn’t always have to be a big project. Sometimes, simple gestures—like a kind note—are enough to spread cheer and make people feel valued.

Kindness Fortune Teller

The Kindness Fortune Teller is a hands-on way for Scouts to focus on kindness every day. Like the Compliment Cards Coloring Pages, this activity encourages positive actions. Scouts make an origami fortune teller with colors, numbers, and kind messages inside. Each message suggests a small act of kindness, like giving a compliment or inviting someone into a group. They can take it home and use it daily to pick a kindness activity. This activity teaches them that kindness can be simple and fun, helping them build good habits they can share with others.
