The “Thanksgiving” worksheet is a reflective and expressive activity designed to engage students in recognizing and articulating their gratitude. It invites children to either write or draw five things they are thankful for, providing space for personal expression and creativity. This exercise helps to foster a mindset of appreciation and self-awareness among students, which is especially relevant during the Thanksgiving season.

The worksheet features a central illustration of a family gathered around the dinner table for a Thanksgiving meal, emphasizing the holiday’s focus on togetherness and gratitude.

It is suitable for a variety of educational levels and can be adapted for younger students with simple drawings or for older students with more detailed written reflections.
