What are Smile Cards?
Smile Cards are business-sized cards that serve as reminders for a game of kindness tag. The idea is, when you do an anonymous(匿名的) kind act for someone, you leave the card behind, to let the one who receives it know that someone reached out to touch their life with kindness, and now it’s their turn to pay it forward by doing something kind for someone else and passing the card along.
