So I know its been forever since we have posted, unfortunately we both have received new callings! :( We did want to post our last few activities even though they were done a while ago. One of the activities we did was a super easy one, making Thankful Journals. To get the girls thinking when we first arrived I played a game with them. We got in a circle and each girl had to say last thanksgiving I ate ----. They had to list something they ate but they couldn't repeat anything that had already been said. If you couldn't think of something new right at your turn you were out. (This was done in November but the game could easily be changed.)
After playing a quick round of the game I had the girls sit and gave them each a paper plate. On it they wrote 6 things they were thankful for. Then they cut a slice out of a circular piece of paper like a pie. They put the paper on top of the plate with a brad in the middle so the open spot slid over the different things they were thankful for.

Finally, I gave each girl a composition journal. I had bought these back in September when the school supply's were on sale and it made it way cheaper. I told them that these were thankful journals that they could write in at least once a week to remember what Heavenly Father has given them. Then I pulled out a bunch of cute paper, markers and scissors and they decorated their journals.
