Make Your Thanksgiving Event Extra Special

Tired of boring holiday meals where everyone is just shoving food down their throats and barely taking time to remember the true reason for the celebration? Or maybe you'd like to make your Thanksgiving memorable and fun with a new activity or tradition?

I totally get it! With five growing boys, our Thanksgiving table would turn into a feeding trough if I let it.

By the time our Thanksgiving feast is ready, my boys are starving and ready to dive into all the yummy dishes. I'll admit that I'm often quite hungry by this point, but I prefer to savor our meal and use it as a time to connect.

That's where these Thanksgiving conversation cards come in handy. This easy printable Thanksgiving activity will keep the conversation going and put the focus back where it should be - on spending time with one another!

These printable cards have Thanksgiving-specific themes (not just random topics). Designed to help you learn something new about family, friends, and loved ones, these conversation starters are such simple yet powerful ways to slow down and connect.

The Importance of Taking Time to Connect

Before we get into how awesome these printable Thanksgiving conversation starters are, let's chat about why taking time to connect is so important (especially during busy holidays).

• Connecting with one another strengthens relationships. Those heart-to-heart conversations can bring you closer and create memories that last.
• Meaningful conversations are good for emotional well-being. Sharing thoughts and feelings can be a real mood booster!
• Family bonding time helps kids feel secure and loved. Taking the time to listen to what they have to say shows them that you care.

Taking time to connect deepens understanding and empathy within families. From my experience (and what I've seen with my boys), those moments of connection can turn an ordinary Thanksgiving into an amazing one filled with laughter, love, and gratitude.

Creative Ways to Use These Printable Thanksgiving Conversation Starters

The best part about these Thanksgiving conversation cards is that they are the only thing you need to get the conversation rolling! Here are some ways I like to use them around the holiday:

• Print your Thanksgiving Conversation Starters on cardstock and/or laminate. You'll be glad for the extra durability and can even store away to use for next year!
• Use for ice breakers, especially if your guest list includes new members to your celebration.
• Need a fun yet easy way to keep guests busy while the feast is being prepared? Pull out these Thanksgiving conversation cards to get family, friends, and loved ones chatting.
• Wait until after the meal to use these conversation starters if you prefer a bit of a break before dessert.
• Using in your classroom or homeschool? Get kids excited and talking about the holiday and/or use them as writing prompts.
• Print out copies of these conversation starters and slip them into your students' take-home folders to enjoy with their families.
• Have your students or guests think of other conversation starters to enjoy with all!

More Fun Ways to Make Thanksgiving Extra Special

It's not all about the conversation starters - We love to use this time to connect in other ways, too!

My boys like to help prepare our meal and even help decorate with fun table settings and Thanksgiving coloring pages and activities.

This year, we're planning on enjoying our Thanksgiving Bingo Game, as well as the Thanksgiving Word Search and Alphabet Game, in our homeschool a few days before the big day.

Oh, and it's always a treat to enjoy a few of these Thanksgiving books for kids!
