After the Activity: “You did it! You found all the pictures. What do you see? (Pause.) Yes! God made all these good, good things. But that’s no surprise! God makes good things because [Bottom Line] God is good. Who is good? [Bottom Line] God is good.”
GRADE SCHOOL
Gratitude Gazette:
What You Need:Paper or spiral notebook, stapler and staples or a folder, markers, and stickers
What You Do:
Guide your kid to make a "Gratitude Journal."
Have your kid gets eight pieces of paper that they stack together then you staple a few times down the left side to make a small booklet.
Let the kids decorate the cover of their journal with markers and stickers.
What to Say:
“To get in the habit of being grateful, you have to practice gratitude every day. During this next week, end each day by writing three things in your “Gratitude Journal” that you are grateful for. Maybe you had a delicious dinner or your friend said something encouraging to you. Maybe you scored your personal best in a video game or in your basketball game.[Make it Personal] (Share three things that you are grateful for today.)
“Practice gratitude every day and eventually, you won’t even have to think about it. You will just start noticing things you are grateful for because you developed a good habit—the habit of being grateful.”
