Creating Meaningful Thanksgiving Traditions!

Today I am joined by guest Meredith Curtis, a fellow podcaster on the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network and a teacher at True North Homeschool Academy. Today we are talking about How to Create Meaningful Thanksgiving Traditions! Check out the fun and doable list of activities that you can implement today to enrich and preserve wonderful Thanksgiving memories!

Thanksgiving can definitely be a time of sharing great food, but it’s also a wonderful time to engage with each other in meaningful ways. We all have so much to be thankful for!

Creating Meaningful Thanksgiving Traditions; it’s can be simple as:

1. Bring people home to celebrate and eat with your family- invite people over!
2. Pass out kernels of corn and then everyone share something they are thankful for for each kernel of corn they took.
3. Have a special Thanksgiving Tablecloth and have everyone sign it.
4. Decorate for Thanksgiving with guards and fall décor – create a cornucopia as a centerpiece.
5. Create a “Thankful Tree”
6. Create posters where people can write in what they are thankful for
7. Eat and share good food
8. Host a Pie Breakfast Open House
9. Play board games
10. Have a time of worship and testimony together
11. Sing old Hymns together. Check out CrossSeven for some great ones!
12. Watch or play football
13. Play cornhole, volley ball or croquet
14. Take an after dinner/ before desert walk
15. Watch a parade
16. Honor relatives you only see on holidays and record family stories
