Today we are going to make a "Thankfulness Bag". This is a great activity for the classroom and at home and this could become a wonderful family tradition. Find things around your house or in the classroom and put them into the bag. If you are in the classroom you could send home a note asking the children to bring in one thing that they are thankful for. It could be a picture of their family, a toy that they really like or just something that they think is neat. Once you have all the items gathered together you could put them in a bag or basket and have the children come up, find an item (or bring up what they brought) to pull out talk about why they are thankful for this item. I also had another idea...when the children pull out what they are thankful for you could write it on a feather and have them tape it to a turkey. Click on this link for this cute idea. The children will come up with ideas on why they are thankful for the item they choose but you can help them to expand their vocabulary on the ways they are thankful as well.

This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say:
“The Bible is one big book made up of many smaller books. Each book has a name. Today we are learning a Bible verse in the book of Daniel. When you find Daniel in the new testament look for the number 3 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see Daniel. We are looking for verse 17, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 3.”
After looking at the Bible show them “Daniel 3:17” written out on their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet. To see and hear all of the Books that make up the Bible watch this fun, short video, The Books of the Bible, by Readeez!
After they are done coloring they can hang their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet up in a special place. Then when your child walks by the sheet they can work on memorizing the Bible verse.
