I wanted to teach the kinds about kindness, and really teach them about being kind to everyone. So I decided to do a family home evening lesson on Random Acts of Kindness. I found an image online that said "please enjoy this random act of kindness. Now pass it on" and I printed them out, and got them laminated. In theory these were going to make the rounds. Then for family home evening we went to the shopping area in our community and the kids all had to fine a random person to give their card (attached to a small gift card) to. Skyler ran up to this person and dropped it in his basket. 
Ryely found a little girl and her Dad that she wanted to give it to. Hers was funny. 
We finally got it given to them, and we walked away, and the guy chased us down and asked us what we were up to. He could not believe that someone would do that. The kids had a lot of fun with it, and while I am sure that we still have a lot of work to do in teaching them to shoe real kindness to everyone, it is a night they will not soon forget.
