We "practiced" being thankful yesterday with the "babysitting kids" (as Maddie calls them). We really had quite a full day of Thanksgiving activities. We made a turkey as you can see below. We also read 10 or more Thanksgiving books. Did some fun worksheets. Sang songs and danced.
One thing we did throughout the morning was come up with things we are thankful for. I talked to them a little about Blessings and shared with them how the things we are thankful for are Blessings from God. We even "tried" to learn the chorus to "Count Your Blessings" (not sure anybody but Maddie got it - she loves to sing).
But we compiled a list of things we are thankful for. I was a little uncertain at first as the list began with our youngest who proudly said, "teddy grahams". But we continued from there are got some great things we are thankful for.
Yes, we also got some comical things, but I was so excited to see them being thankful for everything.
Even at lunchtime, each one thanked God for something! It was fun to spend the day in Thanksgiving for all our Blessings!
