Thanksgiving Scripture Lesson Plan
During the month of November, many of us think about gratitude. The thanksgiving season prods us to make thankful lists and encourage our kids to express their thanks for blessings big and small. This 5-day thanksgiving lesson plan will focus your kids on thankfulness to God above all else. You can plan to incorporate the lessons on the five days leading up to Thanksgiving Day, or spread them out over the weeks before thanksgiving. These videos and activities are intended to be used with middle grades, from about 5th-9th. Younger students may find some of the video content challenging; you can use your judgment there. This unit can also be used anytime you want to specifically focus on thankfulness.
5 Days of Thanksgiving Scripture
Each day includes a scripture reading, video related to the thanksgiving theme, and activity page to assist in memorizing a specific verse. Most of the scripture readings include audio links if you wish to have your student listen along as they read.
Memorization verse for the week
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy is everlasting.
Psalm 107:1
