Thanksgiving Activities Wish List

15 more days until Thanksgiving!

And I have so much to be thankful for this year. Always at the top of my list are: family, the ability to learn alongside my kids every single day, to give them freedom to learn and do those things they are interested in and passionate about, strength to battle health issues, and a warm and safe home.

I feel so incredibly blessed. So many people in the world are struggling right now.

It made me feel a little guilty working with the kids on this wish list. Just the fact that we have the option to consider doing most of these things is incredible. Thank you God!

Besides checking out the ideas below, you might also want to check out the post I wrote last year where I share 15 more Thanksgiving ideas.

*By the way, I’m also very, very thankful to you for being a reader of this blog. Thank you!

1. Thanksgiving Chain – We started this chain on November 1^st. Instead of making a chain where we pull off a chain each day to countdown to Thanksgiving, we decided to add a chain link each day until the 22^nd. On each chain link – made from a one inch strip of brown or orange construction paper- we write down one thing we are thankful for. Then we tape the link to the other links in the chain. We’ll place the chain on the table during Thanksgiving dinner.
