Gratitude Games and Ideas for Kids

This worksheet collects ideas for building gratitude in children. It has seven tips for parents (modeling gratitude, spending mindful time together, supporting autonomy, building on a child's strengths, favoring intrinsic goals, encouraging helping and relationships, and helping kids find what matters to them), six classroom activities (a gratitude book, photos, a collage or bulletin board, a gratitude chain, a Special Friends Day and gratitude sticky notes), and three exercises the worksheet credits to Chris Bergstrom and Blissful Kids: a gratitude journal, the ABCs of gratitude, and bedtime thank yous.
