Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks

for the good fortune and donating to

the needy.

On this occasion you can involve

yourself with your family in donating

time, food or money in the community.

It’s a great opportunity to teach your

kids about spreading kindness and be

thankful during the holiday season.

Follow these simple steps to teach your

kids to have a thankful heart:

At the meal, each and every person

has to name one or more things that

they have been thankful for in the

past year.

Make a Blessing Jar

You can create a blessing jar

where every family member

can drop their blessings

throughout November.

Create Festive Decoration

You can make Thanksgiving

centerpieces, napkin rings, door

decorations and any other creative

festive pieces of your choice with your

family and kids.

Donate To a Favorite Charity

You can donate your time,

money or any needed items to

a favorite charity from

Goodwill to a non-profit

tutoring program.

Teach Manners

“Thank You”, these two words

can make any one happy.

So always teach your kids to

say “Thank You” for small things

during the day, like - if someone

holds a door for them.

Visit a Local Hospital

Visit a local hospital with your family

during the Thanksgiving week.

Your family can enjoy reading books

together or playing board games with

them, and they’ll also feel better.

Send a Care Package to Soldiers Stationed Overseas

Holidays can be lonely for soldiers

who are far away from home. You can

send them necessities as well as some

fun items like non-perishable sweets

and small games.

Donate Time to a Local Shelter

You can volunteer at a local homeless

shelter, women’s shelter and even

animal shelter.
