10 Ways to Help Kids Say Thank You on Thanksgiving

November 20, 2015 By Amy 5 Comments

The best part of Thanksgiving for the kids in our family is when we go around the table and everyone gets a chance to say what they are thankful for. Problem is, when you are vying for center stage at a Thanksgiving table of +30 people, holding everyone’s attention for the duration is a bit of a challenge.

We never seem to pay attention long enough to hear what the last half few at the table are thankful for.

Who knows, I may even tweak one of these for the next special occasion;)

    I love the pumpkin one Amy. As you may know by now we dont have thanks giving in Australia. But that didn’t mean we can not be thankful for everything. So I would be able to see the pumpkin on our table with the writing on as a centre piece any time. Thanks for posting.

    Trying to decide which idea to use, it’s important to help children (and adults) in these times of uncertainty to remember to be thankful for what we do have. You and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving.

    Hope you had a good holiday!
