Materials needed: one worksheet for each child that has each letter of the alphabet with a line after it that is used to write a gratitude word that goes with the letter, pencils
Activity: Students are prompted to think of gratitude words that begin with each letter of the alphabet and write them down on the worksheet. They share their work with their classmates in a discussion.
Directions: Explain that you will be giving them a gratitude alphabet worksheet. They will fill out a word that begins with each letter and expresses something, someone, an experience, a place for which they are grateful. Give a few examples of how you would fill out some of the worksheet. Allow students 10 minutes to fill out the worksheet. Pair up students and guide them to share their work with each other. Guide a class discussion and ask some students to talk about what they learned.
Wrap it up: Ask: “Was it hard to fill in all the blanks on your worksheet? Who got stuck? I’d like you to keep this worksheet and use it to remind yourself that there are so many wonderful things, people, and experiences for which to be grateful. We forget when we’re having a bad day - when that happens to you, take out your list and remember!”
