How to Creatively Give Thanks at Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time to show your friends and family that you appreciate having them in your lives. Here's how to do give thanks in a creative and unusual way.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• creativity

1. Ask everyone to pair up at the dinner table and share one thing about the other person that they're thankful for. This gives each person a feel-good compliment before dinner begins, and will set the tone for the holiday.

2. As a change of pace, have everyone write down something they appreciate about their lives or each other. Put them in a Thanksgiving-themed container and read each one off before dinner. The writers can either be announced or remain anonymous. The choice is yours.

3. 
    

   Make a family collage. Draw a cartoon turkey's face and body, but omit the feathers. Have each family member press a finger onto a colored stamp pad and add one "feather" onto the turkey. You can use many different colors if you want to.
