Supplies Needed:paper or cardstock
Thanksgiving themed stickers
markers, crayons
other card making materials
Exchanging Christmas cards is a tradition, of course, but how about surprising someone with a Thanksgiving card this year! Everyone enjoys being thanked for something. What a fun blessing to the recipient! Encourage students to make cards for family and friends, but it might also be fun to have them think about people they don't know as well, but who provide services for them. For example, the church custodian or tech guys...the bank teller...the cashier at the grocery store...the school bus driver...the pizza delivery guy...the nice man who holds the door open for them and greets them every Sunday at church...you get the idea! To make it even more fun, tell the students to get creative and try delivering the cards anonymously!
What are your ideas for expressing gratitude to people in our lives?
We always try to thank those that serve us daily around Christmas - UPS driver, mail carrier, garbage men, etc. In the past we have given them gift cards to fast food restaurants with a nice Christmas card.
