Suggestions:
  • You could start the devotional eight days before Thanksgiving to teach your children about Thanksgiving and the founding of our country.
  • Older children could do the devotion on their own and then share with the family what they learned on Thanksgiving.
  • ​If you choose to do this devotion in a group setting or a one-time setting (like in Sunday school or as a family devotion), various children can read the Bible passages and Thanksgiving cards and then the questions can be discussed aloud.
