If you’ve been following my blogs, you know that I value an attitude of gratitude and any activities that encourage gratitude in both kids and adults. November is an especially good time to start a family gratitude activity, although you can’t go wrong starting gratitude activities at any time of the year.
Here are some other posts I’ve published with links to gratitude activities from around the blogosphere:
- How to Help Your Kids Have an Attitude of Gratitude

- Montessori-Inspired Gratitude Activities

Thanks so much, Beth! It was exciting to wake up and find this was the most-clicked-on post! I hope you have a great weekend, too! 🙂
Thanks! I just printed out the 21 Days of Gratitude page from the Inspired by Family website with a thought for each day. I may be late in the game here, but I think it will work for me as a simple reminder and attitude check. I printed out the page and will pack it in my suitcase for Thanksgiving, I hope it helps me keep a good perspective while I’m visiting family.
