What are Some Traditional Thanksgiving Activities?
Thanksgiving is rich with many traditions, perfect for involving children. Families often start the day with a Thanksgiving Day parade filled with vibrant floats and marching bands. Watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV has become a beloved ritual in many homes.
Another tradition is the Thanksgiving dinner, where families gather around a table overflowing with turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. It’s an opportunity for kids to help in the kitchen, learning to prepare family recipes passed down through generations. Setting the table or mashing potatoes can be fun ways to involve them.
Many families express gratitude, sharing what they are thankful for before digging into their feast.
This practice helps teach children the value of gratitude. It can be turned into a fun activity where they draw or write about what they are thankful for on our printable sheets.
