With These Gratitude-Themed Games ENGAGE YOUR KIDS ON THANKSGIVING

Guess Who? To play gratitude-themed Guess Who?, have each participant write down their name and something they’re thankful for on a slip of paper and put it in a bowl. Then, at the dinner table, have each person draw a random slip and read what it says without saying the name while everyone else tries to guess who wrote it. While Pictionary may get your kids talking about what they are thankful for, Guess Who? will tune them into what others around them are thankful for too. Pick-Up Sticks Like regular pick-up sticks, the goal is to remove a stick from a haphazard pile without disturbing the others. However, by using colored sticks that represent different kinds of thankfulness — such as places, people, or food — you can make players think outside the box. This will ensure you get a wide range of creative, thoughtful answers whenever the kids pick up a stick. These modified games are great for helping your kids realize how much they have to be thankful for. Use these to spend some fun, educational, quality time with your family this Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is an excellent time to teach children about gratefulness. By planning some fun, gratitude-themed games, you can impart a valuable lesson and spend some quality family time together. Get your kids in the holiday spirit by adding a Thanksgiving twist to these classic games. Pictionary Want to bring out your kids’ creative sides? Pictionary is the perfect way to encourage artistic expression

and grateful thinking. Try adding a rule where players have to draw something they’re grateful for. This will get your kids thinking beyond turkey and stuffing

and give them an imaginative way to express their gratitude. Plus, who doesn’t love a good art contest?

OUR PATIENTS SAY IT BEST

“Libby took my X-rays and cleaned/polished my teeth. Very professional, patient, and courteous while performing her excellent procedures. Very helpful explaining all options to keep my teeth healthy. I explained my concern for too much of the water rinse and choking. She listened carefully and avoided all my feared discomfort. THANKS. May I have her next cleaning? Yes?” – Ron W. “If you are looking for a new dentist, you will not be disappointed joining Huron Smiles! Exceptionally friendly, thorough, and conscientious. All of the staff were great!” –Tom K. “Amazing experience for our kids and ourselves. They were very concerned with my comfort throughout a long procedure. Making sure the procedure was pain-free was

their main concern. They are also great at scheduling and getting their patients in very quickly. I cannot say enough great things about them!” –Mia
