9. Thanksgiving Fill-Them-In Tale

This is a fun Thanksgiving activity! Requires at least two players. Player one asks player two for answers to blanks on his page such as: "name a city", "name the title of a song" and so on. Player two is not told how his answers fit into the Fill-Them-In Tale until all blanks are filled in. Then Player One reads the entire story out loud. This Thanksgiving activity can be hysterically funny!

10. Thankful Cards

Have kids write what they are thankful for on these colorful leaf-shaped cards. Six cards per sheet.
