What is Karma?

Karma is like a toys box that gives you back what you put into it, but not always right away.

Imagine you're playing with your friend at recess. If you share your favorite crayon, you might get to use their eraser later when you need it most. That’s kindness going around, like a friendly game of tag, everyone gets a turn.

But if you take all the chips from the snack bag without offering any to your friend, they might not share their stickers with you next time. It's like a little fairness rule that helps people remember to be nice.

How it works

Think of karma like a coin jar. Every time you do something good, like helping someone up when they fall, you drop a coin in the jar. When you need help, the coins come out to give you what you need, just like when you save up for that special toy.

Sometimes it takes a little while for the coins to add up, just like how it might take a few days before your friend shares their favorite action figure with you. Karma is like a toys box that gives you back what you put into it, but not always right away.
