Thanksgiving Story Cards

The story of Thanksgiving reminds us why the Pilgrims were so grateful on that first Thanksgiving and why we need to be grateful in all circumstances. Our iMOM Thanksgiving Story Cards are fun for remembering the history of this holiday and giving thanks for the blessings in our lives—the big ones and the little ones we sometimes take for granted. Most kids learn about the first Thanksgiving in school, but our story cards can help you review the highlights with your family. They’re suitable for both young and old and everyone can participate!

There are two parts to this Thanksgiving activity. There’s only a little prep work to start. Just cut out the cards and write a person’s name on each of the Sharing Your Heart cards. When you’re ready to do the activity, everyone gets a Sharing Your Heart card and writes why they’re thankful for the person on their card. They’ll also write about an event from the past year they’re thankful for. The second part of this activity is a great chance for everyone to play a role in telling the story of the first Thanksgiving!

If your kids are older, they get to read part of the Thanksgiving story. But if you have a little one who isn’t quite there yet, don’t worry! Kids always enjoy hearing stories. Just sit your child on your lap and let her follow along. It’ll be fun for her to hear different readers! After reading the Thanksgiving story, go back to the Share Your Heart cards. This is the time for everyone to share what’s on their cards!

Our Thanksgiving Story Cards can be a new tradition in your family. When do you plan on using them? Before you carve the turkey? Or after eating pumpkin pie?

Be sure to check out iMOM’s other fun Thanksgiving printables. We have a scavenger hunt, jokes, and riddles for you to enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving!
