Forget the same old dull I am thankful writing prompt this November. This Thanksgiving writing activity puts a fun twist on the traditional writing response as students write about being thankful for the small things in life, like pencils and chairs! Generate and organize ideas using a graphic organizer and choose seasonal writing paper as you teach this fun Thanksgiving writing lesson.

Kids get lots of laughs as well as some good thought about being grateful!

This "I am Thankful For The Small Things" activity is perfect for you if:

✏️Are looking for a new and engaging Thanksgiving Writing Prompt that students haven't already done every other year.
