Play the Thanksgiving Gratitude Game with Your Kids

November 20, 2017 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

There are lots of different ways to explore gratitude and make crafts related to things we are thankful for, but I thought this gratitude game from Teach Beside Me was an interesting way to talk about being grateful for the things in our lives as well.

It uses different colored pick up sticks (hers are painted wooden chopsticks) and when a person picks that color they have to list something they are grateful for in a particular category (such as a person, place or thing).

This is a fun DIY game you can play with a group of kids at school (who may have to be intorduced to the concept of pick up sticks) or with the family while the turkey cooks.

Do you have special ways to express gratitude in your family or classroom for Thanksgiving? I’d love to hear about them!

Book Review: Unauthorized Ultimate K-Pop Fanbook – Girl Group Edition

If you have a K-pop fan in the house, this is one of those books that feels like an easy gift win.

The Unauthorized Ultimate K-Pop Fanbook: Girl Group Edition is packed with puzzles, games, fan trivia and plenty of stickers, with groups including BLACKPINK, TWICE, LE SSERAFIM and HUNTR/X from K-Pop Demon Hunters.

It’s definitely more fun activity book than serious K-pop encyclopedia, which I actually think is part of the appeal. There are mazes, crosswords, bias-themed games and little references for fans to spot, plus 16 sticker sheets for decorating journals, photo books and anything else that happens to be within reach.

If your K-pop obsession started with K-Pop Demon Hunters, we’ve already got a few more ideas worth checking out, including our free K-Pop Demon Hunters coloring pages and digital images and these K-Pop Demon Hunters learning activities and printables.

And yes, K-pop has even made its way into the craft room with these K-Pop Demon Hunters cross stitch patterns.

I think this fanbook would make a cute birthday present, Christmas stocking filler or addition to a K-pop themed gift basket. Add some gel pens, a journal or photo-card binder and you’ve got a gift that feels a bit more thoughtful than simply grabbing another piece of merchandise.

The book is due for release on October 6, 2026, and based on the preview, it looks like a fun little pick for younger K-pop fans, tweens, teens and sticker-loving grown-ups who are absolutely not admitting how many sticker sheets they already own.
