Teaching your Kids to be Thankful
Thanksgiving is the perfect time to teach your kids
about being thankful. Here are some ideas to teach your
children how to appreciate the blessings in their lives.
Thankful Paper Chain
One way to remind your children of their blessings is to
create a paper chain. This is similar to a regular paper
chain where you cut strips of paper and connect them
together as loops, but theres one difference. You write on
the strips of paper before you connect them. Write the
things you are thankful for with your children. For
instance, Grandma plays games with me or My teacher
is nice. The fun part of this activity is to make the chain
as long as possible showing all your blessings. If youd
like to keep this up during Christmas, just use red, green
and white paper.
Thanksgiving Tree
This is another take on the idea
above and works really well if you
have several kids in the family.
Have each child trace their hand
on yellow, red, or brown
construction paper. Cut out the
hand shapes and write (or have the
child write) what they are thankful
for on the hand shape. Cut a tree
trunk shape out of brown
construction paper. Glue it on a large piece of poster
board. Let the kids add their hand shapes as leaves above
the tree trunk, turning it into a beautiful fall colored tree.
Thankful Book
This idea is similar to the others, except its more of a
keepsake. Purchase a photo album or scrapbook kit and
make a blessings theme. Add photos of loved ones,
including stories about why they are special to you.
Also, include pages of your favorite foods, favorite
stories, favorite movies and all the other things that
make you happy. Any time your kids feel down, you can
open your blessing book to see all the reasons you have
to be happy and thankful for the blessings in your life.
