3. Gratitude Lists

Take two minutes to ask: What are you thankful for today? Then try to connect it to a Bible verse like 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “Give thanks in all circumstances.” or a person who demonstrated thankfulness.

👉 Parents can use this around the dinner table, while teachers can use it as a classroom transition.

4. Prayer Prompts
