Thanksgiving Gratitude Placemat

Making gratitude placemats are a great way to keep family members of all ages busy while waiting for their Thanksgiving meal.

For this activity:

You will need: plain paper cut into placemat size, colourful markers.
Cut plain paper to the size of placemats and write the title “I’m thankful for…”.
Encourage your guests to think about all the things they are grateful for and either write them or draw them onto their placemats.
Drawing is a great option to include younger members of the family.
During the meal, go around the table and ask each guests to share a few of the words they have written.
