Bucket fillers are those who help without being asked, give hugs and compliments, and generally spread their love and good feelings to others. Why teach kindness? There have been numerous studies which demonstrate the positive effects of kindness on health and well-being. The kindness giver, receiver and even those observing the kind act immediately experience an increase in happiness, a blissful sense of euphoria, increase in energy, more optimism and a general feeling of being healthy. Children who learn about compassion, respect, empathy and how to express acts of kindness in both words and actions, can have a positive impact on the world they live in. It is proven that young children raised to understand the value of kindness are less likely to bully or even become violent.

Remember you can make a difference each time you brighten someones life through small efforts like a smile, kind word, saying thank you or showing you care.

Hold the hands of the friends on either side of you,

And dont let go at all. Its what we all should do.

Refrain: Its only holding hands but it means so much.

Were filling buckets with just a simple touch.

Lets be bucket fillers. Thats what we all should be.

Our bucket is invisible. Its really make-believe.

But theres no doubt in what a kind act can do.

It makes someone feel good, then comes right back to you.

Chorus: When were kind, we fill our bucket.

When were nice, we fill yours too.

When we help, we fill our bucket.

When we smile, we fill yours too.

Keep holding hands and sway from side to side. We feel much better now, and we know why.

Refrain: Its only holding hands but it means so much.

Were filling buckets with just a simple touch.

Lets be bucket fillers. Thats what we all should be.

Our bucket is invisible. Its really make-believe.

But theres no doubt in what a kind act can do.

It makes someone feel good, then comes right back to you.

Chorus: When were kind, we fill our bucket.

When were nice, we fill yours too.

When we help, we fill our bucket.

When we smile, we fill yours too.

Keep holding hands and standing straight and tall.

Bring your hands up real high and dont let go at all.

Refrain: Its only holding hands but it means so much.

Were filling buckets with just a simple touch.

Lets be bucket fillers. Thats what we all should be.

Our bucket is invisible. Its really make-believe.

But theres no doubt in what a kind act can do.

It makes someone feel good, then comes right back to you.

Chorus: When were kind, we fill our bucket.

When were nice, we fill yours too.

When we help, we fill our bucket.

When we smile, we fill yours too.

Keep holding hands and shout, "Hip, Hip, Hooray!"

Lets celebrate filling our buckets today.

When you wake up tomorrow to start your day,

Refill your bucket with all you do and say.

Chorus: When were kind, we fill our bucket.

When were nice, we fill yours too.

When we help, we fill our bucket.

When we smile, we fill yours too.

Chorus: When were kind, we fill our bucket.

When were nice, we fill yours too.

When we help, we fill our bucket.

When we smile, we fill yours too.
