Gratitude Activities for Kids: Journal and Gratitude Challenge BUNDLE

This gratitude activities for kids bundle includes a gratitude challenge bulletin board and a journal that is perfect for any time of year but is particularly timely for the holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Here are the links for each of the individual products:

GRATITUDE CHALLENGE ACTIVITIES BULLETIN BOARD DESCRIPTION:

Research shows that expressing gratitude positively affects mood, peer relationships, and overall higher quality of life. Gratitude ignites the parasympathetic nervous system, which leads to feelings of calmness. Expressing gratitude releases dopamine and serotonin, resulting in a more pleasurable state of mind.

This file contains bulletin board letters that spell “GRATITUDE CHALLENGE” as well as letters to spell “RIP-N-RECOGNIZE“.

  • Use these posters on a bulletin board, classroom display, counseling office, or common area in your school.
  • Set a goal for students to reach, but issue a “challenge” for students to go above and beyond the recommended goal. Each challenge (poster) is worth TWO points. Students get one point for writing the letter and an additional point for sending or delivering the letter/note. Some posters DO REQUIRE students to research an address. NOTE: The second point on any challenge CANNOT be earned until the letter is dropped off at the post office or delivered in person.
  • In these gratitude activities for kids you will find a challenge sheet for students to keep track of their points. You can structure the challenge in whatever way works best for your class. You can ask students to RIP-N-RECOGNIZE as an early finisher activity, a bell ringer activity, for a gratitude exercise in Social Studies, or as a writing activity during your ELA block.
  • You may choose NOT to use the points as an incentive and instead teach students that expressing gratitude is an inherently rewarding experience.
  • Each challenge sheet has enough space for five challenges. Simply offer copies of the same sheet for students who complete more than five letters/notes.
  • Students should rip ONE CHALLENGE AT A TIME. Their next challenge can’t be “ripped” until they finish the first challenge they chose. This will eliminate issues with students ripping too many challenges at a time, losing the little ripped notes, and “biting off more than they can chew.”
  • There are 20 challenge options for students. Some challenges might not work for some students. Honor and respect a student’s choice NOT to do challenges that don’t work for their life circumstances. Requiring students to complete ALL the challenges will surely put some students in a vulnerable position, which is not the goal of this activity.

GRATITUDE JOURNAL DESCRIPTION:

These gratitude activities for kids are perfect for any time of year but are particularly timely for the holiday season during Thanksgiving or Christmas. You will find two gratitude journals in this file, gratitude worksheets, and printables.

This gratitude activities file contains the following:

  • The Gratitude Journal with 24 pages of prompts (can be used as daily gratitude prompts during the holidays)
  • Gratitude from A-to-Z (much like a blank dictionary) for students to fill in
  • a hand full of worksheets or printables to help your students reflect on gratitude in their lives

Research on gratitude shows that keeping a gratitude journal positively affects overall mood. Gratitude ignites the parasympathetic nervous system, which leads to feelings of calmness. Expressing gratitude releases dopamine and serotonin, resulting in a more pleasurable state of mind.

NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

This product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.

Perfect for 1st-5th grade, students can use this daily journal and dictionary to reflect on gratitude in their own lives. This gratitude product also includes printable writing activities fro kids.

This PDF file contains over 140 pages + Google Slides™.

  1. Katrina B

    I love the interactive pieces of this board!

  2. Jennifer B

    I used the Challenge for the whole school and every grade level 1-4 was excited about it. The gratitude journal was used in my 3rd grade classroom and it has been nice to focus on specific items like gratitude for things in the natural world, inventions and mistakes. One of my students said – “I thought this was going to be boring, but it’s really fun!”.

  3. Jessica J

    My students loved this! Great way to practice letter writing skills

  4. Maureen O

  7. Julio Cesar de Campos Rodrigues 

    I am extremely satisfied with my purchases from this seller/store! Thanks for sharing your brilliant ideas with us! Keep on doing the good work! Love and respect all the way from Brazil! :0)

  8. Tonya D

    This is well put together. It gets the child thinking about all they have to be thankful for. The A-Z part is wonderful to get them writing as well…don’t do them in order though. Gives the child freedom to “have control” of their writing ?

  9. First with Franklin 

    This was a fun activity that I did with my enrichment class during Thanksgiving time last year. We watched videos on how gratitude can actually help our own mental health and practiced quiet meditation time along with doing these booklets. It was a meaningful activity.

  10. Colleen T

  18. Shirlie Y

    This is one of my favorite purchases ever! We used the Gratitude Challenge in November, and my students looked forward to doing little deeds that showed their gratitude for the people in our families and community! In addition, we have been working in our gratitude journals since then, completing a couple of pages a week (I made a journal, too!) and it has kept the feelings going. Thank you for this amazing resource!

  19. Teresa A

    I loved doing this weekly writing with my students. A gratitude focus helps keep everyone focused on the good in their life!

  20. Nikki N

    This resource really helped my students have a wonderful discussion on ways to show they are grateful.

    We made this a hallway display and students from other classes joined in. We used this activity to promote kindness and caring.

    This is a great resource to have students start thinking about all there is to be thankful for in life.
