Thanksgiving is the perfect time to stop and talk with your kids about gratitude. It’s definitely something that in this age of instantaneous EVERYTHING, we need to focus on. This gratitude activity for kids is the perfect way to focus on gratitude in a fun way.
It’s such an easy gratitude game!

The important thing is that you took the time to connect with the kids in your life and to talk as a family about what you’re thankful for.
