As we gather around the Thanksgiving table this year, we'll be "talking turkey".  This is an activity to get some conversation going and to learn a little more about those we love.  

Let’s Talk Turkey!  

1. What’s your favorite Thanksgiving food and why?
2. Share a Thanksgiving memory.
3. What is something that happened this year that you are thankful for?
4. What part of the Thanksgiving story do you like the best?
5. Why do you think Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday?
6. What’s something that happened in your lifetime that you are thankful for?  
7. What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert?
8. What are you looking forward to doing the week after Thanksgiving? 
9. Tell about a Black Friday shopping experience.
10. What’s a Thanksgiving experience you had while away from home?  
11. Whole or jelly cranberry sauce?  Why?  

You can print this up and pass it out:

Made by Joel came through by designing and making available this placemat.   We'll be printing it up and have crayons available to keep the kids busy before the meal is served.  

You can get the pattern for the placemat on  the Made by Joel's website by clicking here.
