THANKSGIVING TWISTS
A THANKSGIVING TWIST is an activity that my students love every year. Here is how it works: Think of something that you might complain about. Now twist it into something that you for which you are thankful.
For example:
I’m thankful for my alarm clock waking me up so early in the morning because that means I won’t be late for school!
I’m thankful for cleaning off the table after dinner because that means that I have delicious food to eat.
I am thankful for the homework we have to do so I can learn SO much more.
I am thankful for ranch to to dip my pizza in so I can have more fun eating pizza.
I am thankful for spiders so I can scare my brother.
