Thanksgiving is a special time when we think about all the things and people we are thankful for. It’s a great chance to say “thank you” to everyone who makes our lives better. In a fun chat, Elmo and Mr. Leon talked about what makes them happy and thankful, like family, friends, and the wonderful things around us.
Elmo is thankful for his family, especially his mommy and daddy. Families are like our special helpers. They give us love, teach us new things, and make us feel safe. When we say thank you to our family, it makes us all feel happy and closer to each other.
Mr. Leon loves music and the beauty of nature. Music can make us feel happy and help us make new friends. Nature, like sunny days and colorful leaves, is also amazing. Playing outside can make us feel good and help us think of new ideas. Enjoying music and nature can make us feel thankful and joyful.
Elmo and Mr. Leon also talked about how important friends are. Friends make us laugh and feel like we belong. Whether you have one friend or many, they make life more fun. Having good friends can make us happier and even healthier!
Elmo and Mr. Leon love singing together. Singing with friends is a fun way to feel connected and make happy memories. Doing things together, like singing, helps us feel like we are part of a team.
At the end of their chat, Elmo and Mr. Leon remind us that Thanksgiving is not just about yummy food. It’s about saying thank you for the people and things that make us happy. Whether it’s family, friends, music, or nature, being thankful can make our lives brighter and more joyful.
This Thanksgiving, let’s think about what we are thankful for and share our thanks with others. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thankful Tree Craft: Create a “Thankful Tree” with your family. Use a small branch or draw a tree on a large piece of paper. Cut out leaf shapes from colored paper. Each day, write something or someone you are thankful for on a leaf and attach it to the tree. Watch your tree grow with gratitude!
Nature Walk and Gratitude Journal: Go on a nature walk with your family or friends. As you walk, notice the beautiful things around you, like colorful leaves or singing birds. When you return, draw or write about what you saw and why you are thankful for it in a special gratitude journal.
Friendship Song and Dance: With a friend or family member, make up a simple song about friendship. Use your favorite tune or create your own. Add a fun dance to go along with it. Perform your song and dance for others and talk about why friends are important to you.
