What You Need:

• Paper, color and weight as desired, to print copies of poster (see Step 1)
• Colored pencils or crayons
• Pencils, pens, markers

Instructions:

1. Download the free poster. (This requires Adobe Acrobat software.) Print enough copies, or have photocopies made, so that there will be one for each person at your Thanksgiving table.

2. Color the borders of the posters.
3. Give guests a poster and a marker, and have them list the things they are especially thankful for. Have everyone share their thoughts at the dinner table. You may be surprised at the results!
