In colorful letters, the name of the show reads "TVO Kids reporter."

Alex, the TVO Kids reporter is around 7, has short blond hair and wears glasses.

He says HEY, EVERYONE,
ALEX HERE.
TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT DIFFERENT WAYS
WE CAN BE KIND
WHILE STAYING APART.
THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS
THAT YOU CAN BE KIND TO SOMEONE
OR BRING A SMILE
TO THEIR FACE,
BUT TODAY, WE ARE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT KINDNESS AT HOME.

The crowd says WOW!

The heart eyed Emoji appears.

Alex says ONE THING YOU CAN DO
IS WRITE A LETTER,
OR SEND AN e-mail TO A FRIEND
OR A FAMILY MEMBER,
OR EVEN A LOCAL
SENIOR'S CENTRE.
MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE
A JOKE IN THERE,
BECAUSE THAT WILL SURELY
MAKE THEM SMILE.
HERE'S ONE TO USE
IF YOU'RE STUMPED.
WHAT DOES A SNOWMAN USE
TO KEEP HIS MONEY IN?
A SNOWBANK!
(LAUGHING)

Alex says ANOTHER ACT OF KINDNESS
COULD BE HELPING YOUR PARENTS.
YOU COULD BRING IN
THE RECYCLE BOXES,
MAKE SURE YOUR TOYS
ARE PUT AWAY,
OR SET OR CLEAR
THE TABLE FOR DINNER.

(CROWD APPLAUDING)

Alex says THE LAST ACT OF KINDNESS WE'RE
GONNA TALK ABOUT
IS SELF KINDNESS.
MAKE SURE YOU GIVE YOURSELF A
BREAK, TOO.
AND DO SOMETHING YOU LIKE,
LIKE BUILDING,
OR COLOURING,
OR MAKING SUPPER, READING.
I LIKE TO PICK UP
A GOOD BOOK AND READ.

Heart Emojis appear.

Alex sits with a book and says I CAN RELAX WHILE HAVING
A BIG ADVENTURE IN MY MIND.
