This challenge is all about caring for others, which is a great way to help everyone to feel positive and improve our mental wellbeing.
We want you to think of ways you can support others through acts of kindness. Using our free My acts of kindness template, we’d like you to draw pictures showing how you intend to spread kindness throughout the week. Be as creative as possible and don’t forget to do all the things you’ve planned!
To help you with this challenge and focus on positive mental health, check out Dr Alex George’s top tips for health and mental wellbeing.
Make sure you share your drawings with us for the chance to win one of our poetry books - The Same Inside: Poems about Empathy and Friendship by Liz Brownlee, Matt Goodfellow, and Roger Stevens. You could also be featured as our Star of the Week on our community page and in our weekly newsletter! Send us your drawings via Twitter @PLCommunites using #PLPrimaryStars #WeAreOneTeam or email us at PLPrimaryStars@premierleague.com.

Remember to stay safe online
Only include the young person's first name and age on their pictures, posts and correspondence with us.
While we want children and young people to use their initiative and to be creative with their communication, it is important they follow social distancing guidelines and stay safe.
Safety tips:
Staying connected with others is a great way to improve mental wellbeing and spread happiness to the people we care about, which is why our first 2021 challenge is the Stay connected poetry challenge.

We’re challenging children across the country to write a poem to send to somebody that they aren’t able to see in person at the moment. Whether it’s a relative, friend or neighbour, write something to make them smile and brighten their day. Children can complete this task individually or with their family.
Our Stay connected poetry challenge pack includes lots of useful, free resources to help you get writing, including a poem template and top tips from author Lauren Child and poet Joseph Coelho.
