Thanksgiving ideas for classrooms and families

Start with the experience you want each person to have.

Gratitude notes

Write a personal thank-you or something you appreciate about the recipient. Cover it with the included sticker for a thoughtful reveal.

Classroom rewards

Choose a classroom privilege, encouraging message or kindness challenge. Prepare one card per student so everyone receives a reveal.

Family activities

Use DIY cards for clues and personalized activities. Choose ready to play games for a preprinted group activity around your gathering.

Prepare your Thanksgiving activity

Choose your format, count your recipients and organize the reveal.

Choose DIY or a game

DIY cards let you write your own message. Games have preprinted reveals. Check card dimensions, pack contents and winning-card details before ordering.

Write • Cover • Scratch

Write in the designated DIY area, cover your message with the included scratch off sticker, then hand out the cards. Prepare one first to confirm that your message fits.

Plan the instructions

Number scavenger hunt clues and test your route. For games, organize any prizes and explain when participants should scratch.

What to write beneath the scratch off

Keep each message short enough to fit the designated area.

Gratitude

“Thank you for always helping.”
“I’m grateful for our time together.”
“You make our classroom brighter.”
