November Family Gratitude Activities

By 35 Comments

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:

  3. This is a wonderful collection of ways to work with our children and ourselves on showing our gratitude. Thank you so much for including our thankful Turkey. I can’t wait to see what things she lists this year and how we can encourage her to think of others more during this holiday season.

  13. Thank you so much for sharing these with Afterschool Linkup. I am determined to put a stronger focus on being thankful with my kids this year. I’m sure I’ll be using a few of these ideas.

  18. 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.
