Fall is a fantastic time to help elementary children focus on thanking God for all he is doing and has done. Encourage your children to spend time in prayer through the art of journaling as they draw, doodle, and write their prayers of thanksgiving.
Each page of this journal encourages children to think through who they are thankful for within their community, family, church, and friendships. Children will also think about Thanksgiving and why they are thankful, and they will be challenged to think about their own relationship with God and why they are thankful for Jesus.
My Fantastic Fall Gratitude Journal includes 30 pages of questions, activities, and coloring sheets to help children explore what it means to be truly grateful.
You can print copies and distribute them to your families or share it with your families via email or online through a password-protected site. You can also use the journal pages individually for small group activities, prayer stations, or worship response times.

I got this for our Wednesday night gatherings, to give the children something to do while the parents socialized. The table grew and grew and in the end I had an age-range of two years to 14 year olds at the table!! The littles loved the color sheets as I asked them about what they are thankful for and the teen-agers dove into the ABCs of gratitude! Thanks for helping me bring them all together!
