A Thank You Walk

Pre-K & Kindergarten

Gratitude, Levels Pre-K, K   Resource: A Thank You Walk, read aloud- By Miss Bethany and Baby Silas #readaloud   Activity: Students go on a “Thank You Walk” after reading this story. They are guided to notice what’s special around them and why we should be thankful for it.    Materials needed: A place to walk and observe nature - if that’s not available, a place to walk and observe what’s special around them   Directions: Show the video. Invite students to talk about the walk in the story, and let them know that you will be taking them on their own “Thank You Walk”. As you go on the walk, prompt them if needed, to notice objects and situations for which they can be thankful. Pause when a student notices something and ask the student to say why they feel thankful for it.    Wrap it up: Explain that it’s important to notice when people, places, and things make us feel grateful, and share what you’re feeling with others around you, or at least say it out loud or in your mind. Tell students to share their gratitudes with you and with their classmates when they notice something for which they feel thankful. Ask them to invite their family members to go on a “Thank You Walk” with you at home.
