Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for God, friends, family, food, shelter and anything else you
are thankful for.
This is a day where we should pause and consider the sacrifices made
by those serving in the U.S. military. Ceremonies and celebrations are held across the United States to make this
recognition. While there is, of course, nothing in the bible that talks about this day, children can learn that we
should be happy and rejoice in those that made our lives better by serving for our country.
Thankful for the Harvest-Talk about how much farmers help us by growing food for us to eat. Let the kids
cut pictures out of their favorite fruits and vegetables and make a collage.
2. Helping Others: This is also a good opportunity to show children how they can help others by collecting
food for a food pantry. Explain to the children that not everyone has enough food to share, so they can help
by bringing canned foods and other non-perishables.
While heading back to school after a great summer is not a real “holiday,” it is a great reason to celebrate. Back
to school means that kids are growing up, heading off for new adventures and learning more. Having a back to
school party is a great idea, especially for kids that are going to school for the very first time or moving to a new
school. Throw a Back to School party for your kids and show them how fun school can be.
Those living in the United States celebrate the Fourth of July to mark independence from Britain. We typically
celebrate this day by sharing the day with friends and family with a good meal and by watching a fireworks
show at dark.
