We visited our friends at the daycare and on that day they were studying pilgrims. To start our activity I brought paper to make pilgrim hats. The kids got to choose from our big box of ribbon to make their hat unique. They also helped the residents choose ribbon for their own hats so they would fit right in to our pilgrim party.
Next we did an activity called "Pass the Thankerchief" where the kids sat in a circle and passed a handkerchief while I read a poem. The one who was holding it when I finished had to tell something they were grateful for:
Thankerchief, Thankerchief, around you go,
where are you going to stop, well no one knows.
But when you do, I will say,
what I'm thankful for, on this very day!
When the kids each had a turn we asked the residents what they were thankful for and most said being able to come visit some adorable children. Moments like that make the planning and implementing worth it.
