Thanksgiving Chain

Christian Craft Thankful Activity for Church, School, and Family

For use in classrooms, Bible clubs, or around the Thanksgiving dinner table.

What You Need
Child-friendly Bible, strips of autumn colored paper (1" x 10"), markers, stapler.

Read Psalm 95:1-7 and/or Psalm 100.

For classrooms: Divide class into small groups. Give each group 12 strips of paper and markers. 

For a dinnertime setting: Give each person one strip of paper. If you have more than twelve people, have them work together, if there are less than twelve, give each person more than one strip of paper.

Challenge the participants to use the letters from the word, THANKSGIVING to write something they are thankful for on their strips of paper. For example, "I am thankful for my "teachers"; "I am thankful for 'honest' people, because I can trust them"; "I am thankful for 'all' my blessings," etc. When all the strips are completed, fasten them together using the stapler to form a chain. Discuss what everyone has written. Hang the Thanksgiving Chain in your classroom or drape it in a prominent place during Thanksgiving dinner.
