Thanksgiving Activities to Encourage Gratititude

November is the beginning of what I call The Crazy. There are so many holiday events, play practices, and parties that beg for our time and attention. Unless we want the focus of Thanksgiving to be the turkey and pie, we must be intentional about instilling an attitude of gratitude. 

These tools will help you do just that!

Share Some Joy This Holiday Season ~ Give Thanks Cards

November 3, 2014 By: amyswandering1 Comment

We are kicking off this series with ways to share the Season of Joy. One of the simplest things to share is a smile! People get stressed out and over-extended during the holidays. A big smile tends to catch them off guard, and they usually return the sentiment.

Share a Little Thanksgiving Joy

Adorable graphics courtesy of pumpkins and posies.

I have a fun, easy way for you and your kids to share a little Thanksgiving Joy in three simple steps:

  • Print out some Give Thanks cards
  • Tape a quarter onto the corner of each
  • Leave on top of a candy or toy vending machine

If you have time, stick around for a little while and (secretly) watch each child’s face light up as they discover the surprise.

A few more ideas for the Give Thanks cards:

  • Leave them near the vending machine at work – you might want to add more than 1 quarter
  • Tuck one inside a library book before returning (make sure it’s not against your library’s rules)
  • Write a note and slip it into a family member’s lunch
  • Tape on candy instead and hand out 
  • Pass them out at a nursing home, along with a big hug
  • Give them to the kids in your Sunday School Class
