Practicing Gratitude as a Family

November reminds us to be thankful for friends, family and so much more. Teaching children what it means to be thankful and how to express gratitude is important for their social emotional development. Use these activities, crafts and other opportunities for your family to express all you are thankful for.

• Make your own thank you cards with Daniel Tiger.
• Creating a thankful tree to add to your fall decorations.
• Check out this Wander & Wonder episode and make a gratitude turkey.
• Assemble a thankful time capsule with your family.
• Write out Thanksgiving notes using these prompts from PBS KIDS.
• Give thanks with a gratitude jar and watch your collection of thankfulness grow.
• Make a grateful garland with your family.
• Explore PBS KIDS’ Gratitude Bingo packet with your children.
   

These activities are a great way to not only keep gratitude at the forefront this season, but all year long.
